I've always had a soft spot for pina coladas - the tropical essence, the pineapple, the coconut...with or without the rum...more often without. This one is the easiest and tastiest so far!

 This is such an easy kale smoothie. It tastes so good and refreshing yet it can also be very filling with all that kale. Perfect for between meals, or after a light workout, or out the door for errands. Super easy to make with only a few ingredients.
Yep. You read the title right, ricotta cheese in a "milkshake". I got the idea from somewhere that I read you swap out ice cream with sweetened ricotta for a sweet late night treat. Makes sense to me...I love ricotta!
I haven't played with this recipe much and am currently addicted to it just as it is but I'm sure you could variate quite a bit depending on flavor preferences. Here is what I currently make, and I apologize for the lack of specifics, I tried to measure things out but it just didn't taste as good as when I wing it. Ch-ch-ch-chia.
Yep, those funny little things are actually quite tasty. A few years ago I got into the chia seeds and enjoyed chia frescas and puddings but then my interest seemed to fade. I’m terrible with remembering favorite recipes because I also tend to just google as I cook. So when I decided to get back into the chia craze I found this recipe and remembered to bookmark it this time. Now, I don’t quite follow the recipe to a T and I have basically just used it as a base to play with different flavors and combos. It makes a pretty big batch so I can easily split this one base into 4 different flavors. The convenience of mason jars is big for these flavor splits. I can simply divide the chia seeds among the jars, and either add the flavorings to the jar or have a reserve to use if I’m blending the flavor in the blender. I will keep the puddings in the fridge and grab during the week or scope out as needed to add to other recipes, such as the dragon fruit/tapioca dessert or the ricotta milkshake. Easy enough to pack for work and versatile enough to not tire of.  Cleaning out the fridge today I regretfully threw out a lot of fruits and vegetables that had various molds on them...I'm a little over ambitious when I'm grocery shopping. I did find a few that I could save but that didn't have much time on them - so I dropped them in the blender.
We make green smoothies a lot and have been for years. It all started with a Kale and Banana vegan smoothie that I started making regularly when we lived in Montana. However, I developed an intolerance for bananas so I no longer smoothie with bananas which can be limiting on my smoothie production. But that doesn’t stop me from trying and the taste from exploding.  |
