The Handful

OK....
This one is called "THE HANDFUL" Smoothie.
Why? You ask....
Well...Basically because there is JUST a HANDFUL of EVERYTHING in it!
(Except for the pineapple rings.... I used two...)
And... BONUS...
It's... BROWN!!!

I guess I have MEDIUM size hands...
So... MY smoothie was pretty much ON PAR with all the other ones I have made....
A GOOD medium sized ONE PERSON serving....
If ya got BIG hands...I guess you'll have a BIGGER smoothie...so you can always SHARE!
And.. if your hands are kinda LITTLE....maybe take TWO handfuls of everything!

PRE SWIG

Look! It's got LEGS!!!!

Something akin to a nice rich SHIRAZ....

Although....I don't really like Shiraz.....or RED wine at all.....

Makes my hands ITCH....

The Handful

(1 serving)

2 canned pineapple rings plus a bit of canned juice

a handful of fresh blueberries

a handful of fresh strawberries (bigger handful than the blueberries)

a handful of frozen mango

a handful of spinach

some water....

CRANBERRY CACAO CRUNCH

I'm not going to LIE...
This one.....was....kinda ...MEH...
But.... I haven't posted in EONS....so i just wanted to say HI and touch base with Y'all...

Soooooo.....

I definitely "OVER CINNAMONED" this one.....
(Definition: Adding TOO MUCH cinnamon...)

Another CRUCIAL mistake:
I used ROOM TEMPERATURE almond milk as i had nothing else USE-ABLE for a base liquid in the fridge...

AND.....
After yesterdays BANANNA & WATER smoothie.....
Well....

We're NOT gonna get into that now.....

Time to MOVE ON....

Frozen cranberries... or....

LES CANNEBERGES GELEES as we like to call them in my house

(because they sound even more delicious in FRENCH...) have become a new smoothie staple for me.

Today I threw together some bananna, pear, warm almond milk, cacao & 

LES CANNEBERGES GELEES
(Can't figure out how to do the accents on my keyboard...)

and WAAAYYYY to much cinnamon...

Just a SPRINKLE is necessary...

Not the big GRAB I threw in....

My FAVE part of this smoothie is the extra cacao on top cause it adds a nice little crunch!

Cranberry Cacao Crunch

(1 serving)

1 cup almond milk (preferably cold)

half d'anjou pear

half banana

handful of les canneberges gelee

tablespoon of cacao nibs plus more for garnish

a sprinkle of cinnamon

The cookies pictured above are so DELISH & they freeze really well too!
They are from SALLY'S BAKING ADDICTION..
I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts..
