Sometimes I want to get my protein quickly and easily. And sometimes it’s not about protein, it’s about me just wanting a smoothie =) I think I lived on smoothies as a child and teen. Either for health reasons or not, there’s no better way than this vanilla shake. When I first saw hemp…
Drinks
Sweet Hemp Milk Chai Latte dairy-free, refined sugar-free
When we were in Manitou Springs last weekend, there was this great coffee shop (wish I could remember the name of it) where they not only offered soy and almond milk, but also hemp milk. That was the first time I’ve ever seen hemp milk in a coffee shop. I was thrilled because I try…
Vanilla Banana Smoothie (vegan, raw-inspired, dairy-free)
The temperatures are finally cooling a little bit here, thank goodness. The 90’s of last week have dropped into the low 80’s now, and even cooler weather is right around the corner. This morning I had to get out of the house early, and I was thoroughly excited to put on my jeans 🙂 When…
self portrait with chia coffee
Here I am in my kitchen right now taking photos and making up recipes. It’s just so hot outside! I’ve waited five minutes, and it’s still hot 😉 So I made up another coffee drink, and I think it’s pretty sweet. My hubby came up from his office downstairs and gave it a big thumbs…
Plum or Nectarine Smoothies, dairy-free
We made more smoothies like the ones I mentioned on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page yesterday, and they were so pretty I had to take a picture 🙂 I don’t measure exactly, but I made enough to fill my blender to the top line. Here are my ingredients: Add to blender: 2 plums or nectarines,…
Cherry-licious Smoothies made with date sweetened nut milk
So, you know how I posted the Almond Latte-licious the other day? Well the foam is really best the day it’s made. You can blend it again the day after, but you hardly get any foam. That’s why I decided to use the rest of that yum-o date sweetened nut milk to make these, Cherry-licious…
Almond Latte-licious
Photo by Zoe This may look like a moo milk latte, but it isn’t. It’s an almond latte with foam and everything. And it rocks. I don’t know if you could get the foam with a regular blender, but all you guys with a Vita-Mix or Blendtec—listen up! Here’s how you do it: Make your…
Green Smoothies
First thing this morning we made some more green smoothies and drank them on the porch. I don’t think I ever make them the same way twice—Are you like that too with smoothies? I just can’t stop playing around with the ingredients and proportions =) Green Smoothies 2 cups packed fresh washed spinach 1 inch…
Cherry & Chocolate Hemp Shake
Some days (like today) I make Zoe and Ashley lunch, and they just aren’t in the mood to eat. So I blend them a smoothie or shake. Right now they are really into this little glass bottle that we are reusing. I think it came with 100% grape juice in it, but I can’t remember….
Mint Chocolate Protein & Omega 3 Shake vegan, dairy-free, raw
I had an “Ahhh!” moment today, when I realized that the paved trail we used to walk a few times a week was not covered in snow and ice, but rather plowed by the city. How nice! So we took a walk, about a mile each way, and enjoyed all the animal tracks on the…
