watermelon smoothie

Deceptively delicious!  Adapted from Vegetable Carnival.

As for the ingredient list ... hold on to your hats!

~1 C frozen, cubed watermelon
~ 1/2 C almond milk

Cut a watermelon into small cubes and freeze, oh, maybe 2 cups worth (if you freeze on a cookie sheet they won't stick together.) When frozen blend, oh, maybe 1 cup of watermelon.  Add almond milk to desired texture.  I probably end up with 1/2 cup.

It's truly delightful!

The almond milk will be by the soy milk @ the store. I used the vanilla almond milk, but you could probably use the original flavor with just as tasty results. This is my new favorite smoothie!

You'll Never See SPINACH the Same Again!

So this is exciting and a response to Alisa's snack needs for school...

I just read from a friends blog that a spinach shake saved her life the other day. She used it for kids but it is a great idea for all of us... So the foundation of the shake is a handful of fresh spinach (1cup) and milk (judge as you go). Then add whatever else you want i.e.: flavored yogurt, frozen fruit, banana, fruit juice or carrot juice, etc. I've not tried it myself yet but will be as soon as I go to the grocery store. I love liquid meals... really I love them. This is one of my little confessions. So much EASIER! If you have any other great liquid snack/meal ideas for on the go living, let me know. I love you all... miss you all.
