Snacks and Dessert

I have a sweet tooth.
A year ago I would satisfy my cravings with candy bars, cookies, ice cream..... well just about anything. Now, I'm proud to say, when I really want something sweet I reach for fruit.

I have found that it really seems to satisfy me better than the candy, cookies and ice cream. I can have a couple of pieces of fruit and be happy instead of having the need to reach for more junk a couple of hours (sometimes minutes) later.

I do treat myself to non-dairy ice cream once in awhile or a smoothie like I did today.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

2 frozen bananas
10-12 strawberries
1 1/2- 2 cups non-dairy milk (this time I used part vanilla almond milk part original almond milk)

Cut up bananas and strawberries and put in a blender. Tip for freezing bananas: peel them first. I didn't and I thought I would get frost bite holding the bananas trying to peel them with a paring knife. Lesson learned :)




Add milk and blend.  This recipe makes enough for 2 smoothies.


Happy Slurping :)
