I made this for lunch yesterday, and Joe told me that it was the best thing I’ve ever made. Seriously, I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not, but it was really good and super healthy! Here’s what I did: Spread hummus into a pie dish (you could use whatever dish you wanted to—I …
Yesterday, I made a smoothie that was similar to the Valentine’s Day smoothie, except I didn’t measure the ingredients, left out the hemp protein powder and cacao, and added about 2 cups of spinach. I thought it would turn brown…but it didn’t. It was awesome, didn’t taste the spinach at all, and it was a …
My Mom sent me this magnet for Valentine’s Day and said, “Just ‘felt’ like me ‘n you…” I’m so lucky!
If you’ve known me for a while, you may recognize this smoothie…it’s the Avocolada! I have used a version of this in smoothie demos, and usually get mixed reviews—-people who don’t like avocados tend to go into it thinking they won’t like it. And they don’t. I love it, even though this recipe made about …
Today’s smoothie features a powerful antioxidant, omega fat and amino acid source—acai. You pronounce this “ah-sigh–ee” and it is a very trendy superfood lately. You may have seen/heard commercials for cleanse and detox programs featuring the acai berry. It’s good for you, but like everything else, it’s not magic! In fact, a lot of those …
Today I wanted a combination recovery plus energy boost smoothie. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it turned out more like a pudding. Here’s the recipe: 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 1/2 scoop Vega powder (chocolate flavor) 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chia seeds 2-3 Tbsp agave 1 Tbsp maca powder I …
I decided this will be smoothie week. Not green smoothie week—just Smoothie Week. So everyday, I’m going to make up and post a new recipe. But I’m counting the Valentine’s Day smoothie twice (Sun and Mon), just because it was so good. Today’s smoothie is not as beautiful as I had hoped, but it tastes …
I’ve been trying to grow wheatgrass. It’s conceptually extremely easy! Plus, I’ve been cheating by using the patches I’ve bought from Lori’s and then just re-growing the grass. I will grow it from scratch eventually, but I have to buy dirt and trays and figure out how to make it work. You can only re-grow …
I got a smoothie recipe from Sarma at www.oneluckyduck.com a couple days ago—and I really wanted to try it for Valentine’s Day. Why? It’s pink, plus I wanted Joe to try it and I figured he wouldn’t say no if I acted like it was made specially for him. And it was, kinda. Anyway, I …
Isn’t it funny how so many people have conflicting and opposite opinions about holidays? Some people love Christmas, and other people just think it’s a pain to deal with. Some people get excited about celebrating Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and St. Patty’s Day…and others complain that they are just over-commercialized and forced. I never thought too …
