Strawberry Fizz

I know, I know … it’s not the season! I just can’t help myself :) It’s simply one of the best smoothies around; strawberry & banana smoothie. So terribly classic, yet so good. I really crave one every now and then—even though the berries aren’t nearly as tasty as they should be this time of year. To make a great strawberry smoothie you simply have to find the right combination of fruits,…

    Did I mention buying a juicer? I think I did. I must have, I mean, it’s a kitchen gadget! Fresh juice doesn’t just taste fantastic and is super healthy, it’s also really comforting to know that if I can’t get my toddler to always eat right; I can definitely get him to drink right. It’s the mommy in me! I sneak vegetables & fruit into everything these days. It just makes…

      Breakfast Smoothie

        In my perennial search for the perfect smoothie, I stumbled upon this combination! Turns out to be the perfect breakfast. As much as I like the Tangerine Dream and Jayden’s Smoothie; I just need more fibres to get me through the morning. So I’ve added something I normally don’t care much for; muesli. Plain, unsweetened muesli (with dried fruit) works like a charm when combined with fresh fruit, yogurt…

        Winter Wonderland

          I decided my blog needs more chocolate! Well, it needs at least some chocolate! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so basically my dessert section is shamefully empty. Mea culpa (hangs head in shame). Must admit I don’t really care much for dessert, much less desserts laden with sugar and cream. It’s just not my thing; I’m a savory kinda girl. With one sweet exception; hot chocolate…

          Tangerine Dream

          Still on a major smoothie binge! Having fun trying to come up with new flavors. Kiddo and I really like ‘Jayden’s Smoothie‘, but lately I have another favorite as well. While growing up we had ice creams called ‘Sinasplit‘. Not sure if they still sell them, but basically it was a creamy vanilla ice stick covered in orange flavored water ice. Water ice is just a layer of water-based, non-dairy and…

            Jayden’s Smoothie

              When it comes to my kiddo’s eating habits, I really can’t complain. However, there’s one thing he absolutely dislikes. Fruit. Amazing, isn’t it? I thought kids took to fruit naturally? Guess not. Aside from apples and an occasional grape, he’ll simply refuse to eat any kind of fruit unless it’s mashed, blended or incorporated into something. Now for a short while I wasn’t even all too unhappy about that – this was…
