Go Make a Smoothie!

Happy New Year! Oh, that was a few weeks ago, huh? Well happy keep your New Year's Resolutions month! Here's a little something to help you out.

This is a banana, pineapple, coconut milk, and yogurt smoothie. With a little bit of a treat on top.


Perfect and delicious!

1 cup plain yogurt
1 banana
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup pineapple
1 smidge of whipped cream


Blend a little or a lot. I like my smoothies smoooooth, so I blend a lot.


If you like a little variety you can cut out the pineapples & coconut milk and add one or two of the following:

Frozen strawberries, peaches, mixed berries, blue berries, or any fruit you can think of. I add a dash or two of stevia when I am not using pineapple. It's great every time.

Try it with a dollop of peanut butter and drizzle of chocolate syrup (just to make it look pretty).

I added about a cup of spinach to some left over strawberry smoothie and all the taste testers were very pleasantly surprised. I didn't have a whole lot of spinach to work with but I think it would have tasted fine if I had added even more.


One blogger I know prefers just fruit and yogurt (with a little something to sweeten it up), she leaves out the banana completely.

My point is, no matter how you like it, it's great for you! So go make a smoothie!

Kashmir Spinach

I know you all care what I had for breakfast, and have been waiting on the edges of your seats to find out, so here you go... I had a bowl of Kashmir Spinach and a slice of toasted Ezekiel Bread, wow. It was so good. It's an Indian recipe that involves (can you guess?) spinach and paneer cheese. Super fantastic. It's so great, in fact, that I'm going to try to figure out how to make it cheaper than I can buy it. If I don't learn how to make it I'll be spending $3 a day on it and that would add up fast!
I'll post a picture of what I ate and keep you in the loop when I figure out how to make it.



If you'd like to sample it, you may go to your nearest Price Cutters and check out the Indian section, it's made by Tasty Bite and it's in a small box. If you would like to try it from the Indian restaurant that I first had it from, then you can go to Gem of India, in Springfield, MO. Prepare yourself for very poor service, bad attitudes, sour faces, and great food. I have banned myself from there because of their horrible lack of friendliness. I may go back some day. If you go, get the buffet. There you will be presented with an array of delicious foods that one might never order from the menu. I know I didn't!
