Recipe of the day: The Strawberry Refresher

This is one of my favorite smoothies!  It's refreshing, light, and very easy to make! I swear it tastes like liquid candy but it's nutrient rich and full of antioxidants! 

The Strawberry Refresher 

Ingredients: 

 1 cup of fresh juiced red apples or apple juice not from concentrate 

1 cup of pineapple 

1 cup of frozen strawberries 

*you can use fresh strawberries, but if you use some frozen fruit you get a thicker texture (like Keva Juice) 

Directions: 

Place all ingredients in blender, blend, pour, and serve! 

I like to make a big batch and store whats leftover in my freezer,  in an airtight container (mason jar).  Whenever I'm craving something sweet, I'll substitute dessert with this smoothie! 

This smoothie is absolutely perfect for the warmer weather!

I hope you enjoyed this recipe!

No Bake Cookie Dough Balls

This recipe is not only tasty but it's also very simple! I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! 

Ingredients:

 1 scoop cellucor s'mores protein

 1/4 cup wheat flour

 1 tsp vanilla extract

 1 tsp stevia leaf drops

 1/2 cup white chocolate Justin's almond butter with a little bit of trader Joe's cookies and cream butter mixed in

 1 tsp cinnamon

 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Directions: 

Mix all ingredients together except white chocolate chips. You may need to add a little bit (add in very small amounts!) of water as needed as you work the dough because it can be dry. Last add the white chocolate chips and work them in the dough. Then pull out pieces of the dough to makes small balls, place on a cookie sheet and stick in the fridge for a bit. Makes 8 balls

Happy Holiday Baking Everyone!

Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup by Ashley

Creamless Cream Of Mushroom 

This recipe is a spoon-licker.  It's so delicious and perfect for cooler weather.

I also love this recipe because..

1. It's easy to make

2. It's exceptionally healthy 

3. It's light 

4. You can make a big batch and store it for the week 

Ingredients: 

1.5 lbs of mushrooms 

1 onion 

1 tbs of minced garlic 

1 1/2 cup of coconut milk 

3 cups of vegetable broth 

2 tbs of arrowroot starch or coconut flour

salt 

pepper 

Directions: 

Don't waste too much time cutting everything up. We eventually place everything in a blender.

 Pour vegetable broth in a cooking pan over medium heat. 
Chop up the onion and place it in a pan over medium heat, along with the garlic, and mushrooms.  

Cook for about 20 minutes. 

Once cooked, place in blender and puree. 

Once you have your desired texture, place blender to the side. 

Heat up coconut milk in a cooking pan until it starts to boil, then slowly add in puree from blender.

Continue to stir over medium heat. 

whisk in the arrowroot  starch or coconut flour until there are no clumps.

Continue to stir until the soup thickens. 

 Pour and Serve!

Energy Bars

I am huge fan of these bars! They are easy to make, portable, they are DELISH, and they are all-natural.  So many protein bars are loaded with junk.  Don't be fooled by protein bars and don't put crap in your body!

p.s. your house will smell so amazingly scrumptious while these are baking, you will want to make them every week! #HelloBettyCrocker The smell of these bars really put me in the holiday spirit... is that weird?!

These energy bars are: Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Organic,  Non-GMO, & DELICIOUS!  

Ingredients: 

2 cups of pecans 

1 1/2 cup of almonds 

4 dates  

dash of cinnamon
dash of salt 

 1/2 cup of honey OR 

coconut nectar for less sugar... I've tried each out and love both! 

Directions: 

 Place nuts in food processor or good blender and pulse.  Be careful not over process.  You don't want an almond butter texture.

Then place all other ingredients in food processor and pulse until a thick texture is made. 

Place batter in an 8x8 cooking pan that is greased with coconut oil.  

Bake on a low temperature around 180 for about an hour.  Leave the oven slightly cracked open.  Once the top starts to brown, take the pan out. 

Cut & Serve (or store for the week!)
