Straw-banana-kiwi Protein Smoothie
Need a quick pick me up to get you through the afternoon?
Try this super healthy protein “punch in the gut” that will keep you from diving into the jujubes… wait, did someone jujubes?
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
2 Kiwis (take the skin off if they aren’t organic!)
1 small banana
1/2 avocado
1 scoop hemp protein powder (or any protein powder will do!)
1 – 2 cups of almond milk (coconut water or coconut milk will work too!)
Blend all ingredients with your smoothie wand, or in the blender. I used my Magic Bullet! Drink now. Thank me later.
Easy Vanilla Cake + Orange Buttercream Icing
Ok, so call me crazy, but I started this “cake and icing from scratch” adventure at 9pm on the eve of this St. Patrick’s Day. My boycotting of commercial holidays was over. I wanted sugar. I wanted green. I wanted to get lucky. And lucky I got.
I used this amazing recipe for Easy Vanilla Cake and this family favourite for a most decadent Orange ButterCream Icing.
I substituted regular milk for almond milk, and I used about 1/3 of a cup less of sugar in the cake batter. Honestly, I don’t think you’d even notice because the icing is so wonderful and sweet, that it really does tie everything together nicely.
Overall, it was a completely painless experience, except for the sore belly part from eating two pieces! Oops.
