Creamsicle Smoothie!

Ice

1 French vanilla probiotic yogurt 4 oz

1 peeled orange

Sprinkle of wheat germ

Splash of orange juice or lemonade

A little bit of cold water to blend

*If your "daring" add 1 peeled raw carrot to the blend (cut up in chunks)*

(one with carrots is on left) 

 

My 2 year old thought this was a dessert (little did she know how healthy!)

My husband has the most sensitive taste buds and couldn't taste the carrots!

Team Whoopie

I know this blog is about smoothies but in honor of all things sweet....Whoopies!

I love chocolate whoopies, pumpkin whoopies, and after tonight... chocolate chip whoopies!

 

The State of Maine is all up in arms about what should or should not be the official dessert of the state. Some people want the amazing whoopie pie and some want the everyday, can buy at every convenience store, is only great with ice cream.... blueberry pie. Now that I am a "Mainiac" I am very dedicated to this cause. My love for the whoopie pie is so strong that I may have to move to Pennsylvania (the other state trying to get the whoopie pie as their official dessert). Now the pie-lovers argue that a dessert with lard should not be Maine's official dessert. To that I say... ha! Lard never tasted so good :-P

I was going to make Team Whoopie shirts but decided to just make some delicious whoopie pies instead.

Playing Favorites

I play favorites when it comes to food... lobster, cookie dough ice cream and my favorite smoothie recipe! I make this one frequently and feel like I am actually getting some good things back from it :-)

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 cup frozen blueberries

1/2 cup frozen raspberries or blackberries

2 cups raw baby spinach

Sprinkle of wheat germ

1 1/2 cup cold homemade brewed green tea

Splash of natural juice (without high-fructose corn syrup and dyes)

*I add honey if I feel sick

Enjoy!

   

Welcome to my blog. I've thought about starting a blog for a while but could never settle on a topic that would keep my interest.... until recently :-) My love of all things smoothie and people always asking me for my recipes made me think that it would be fun to describe my frequent blends. Hoping a few people may actually check in from time to time and possibly create their own tasty treats!

A little background on my smoothie obsession.... I've blended for some time but really fine-tuned my recipes when my daughter decided food was no longer a priority. My smoothies became the best route for fruits and veggies to head to her stomach :-) If a two year old likes them then I must be doing something right!

I will be posting my favorite recipe soon!! Please feel free to comment and tell me your favorite recipe, ingredients, if you tried my recipe & if you have an ingredient you would like me to try :-) (Be kind... although I am always up for a challenge :-)

Happy Blending!
