I love the ingredients in this smoothie – coconut, cherry, orange and a little banana to cream it all up.

 Think about making one of these for a breakfast, lunch or snack.

Tropical Delight Smoothie

July 15, 2014 By

This smoothie is the consistency of a Wendy’s frosty so it works well as a beverage but is also thick enough to be eaten with a spoon and could easily be a dessert. It will stay extra cold if you serve in a frosted cup.

 I purchase frozen fruit at Trader Joe’s and Sprouts.  

This post shows how I prep bananas and organize my smoothie supplies for making smoothies.

Hope you enjoy this beach-inspired smoothie.  It is even the same color as sand – definitely didn’t plan that 🙂

Blueberry Coconut Popsicles

July 11, 2013 By

Popsicles are so fun and making them from fruit is a great way to get health benefits from eating a treat.  My grandson thought they were pretty yummy!

Caden - Popsicle - 6-30-13

Ingredients

2 cups organic frozen blueberries
1 banana
1 can full fat coconut milk
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons blueberry fruit spread

Things You Will Need

Blender or Food Processor

Popsicle Molds – I found mine at Sur La Table 

Directions

Blend ingredients until smooth.

Pours liquid into molds and place tops in.

Place in freezer for 5-8 hours.

When ready to serve, run the bottoms under warm water to release from mold.

Note – Too much liquid and not enough molds?  No problem – Place the extra popsicle liquid in a square or rectangle dish (plastic will work).  Freeze for 5-8 hours.  Let sit out for a few minutes and then using a fork or spoon scrape into flaky crystals.  For a chunkier consistency a potato masher can be used.  Store sealed in freezer.  To Serve:  Place in fancy glass, top with a tsp of fruit spread and a piece of fruit.

What is your favorite flavor of popsicle?
