Sweet tart

This chick has been researching apple cider vinegar. So many reasons to use this product. I’m convinced it will soon cure cancer. It’s got great health benefits.

Low and behold…it can be added to smoothies. Go easy. We’re talking 1 tablespoon or less. It adds zip to your drink, so be prepared.

This chick’s am smoothie
1 cup vanilla coconut water
2 cups spinach
1 cup broccoli
1 cup strawberries
1/2 pineapple
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Blend and enjoy.

Fresh, Lite and Colorful

I found a few random pieces of fruit in the crisper this morning and didn’t want anything to go to waste, so it all went in the blender. With no real expectations of this smoothie, it did end up tasting really good.

Kiwi, blackberries, strawberries, spinach, water

Taste = Tart

Texture= smooth and thin

What it need for next time = add banana or almond butter to help reduce the tartness

For the last 2 weeks all my smoothies have been filled with completely fresh produce. They have been light and refreshing. This week I decided I would switch to using frozen fruit in the smoothies.

Easy as ABC

Apple

Banana

Cherries

Spinach

Coconut Milk

Taste = Very Banana and Cherry

Texture= smooth and thin

What it need for next time = I wouldn’t change anything

Finally after 2 weeks I have internet again! Blogging had to be sidelined, but smoothie drinking did not.

“A little bit of everything”

coconut water

blackberries

strawberries

banana

spinach

hemp protein powder

Taste = very nutty due to the hemp protein

Texture= THICK! So thick, but good. Grainy due too much protein powder

What it need for next time = add less protein powder.

Throwing together

This chick put muffins on the shelf and made cupcakes. Strawberry box cake + 1 cup chocolate chips = one sweet treat.

I love these silicone cups. Cupcakes pop right out!

A few were larger; some were small.

A sprinkle treat for a co-workers baby shower.
