Beat the Summer The Blender Girl Smoothies

July 23, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Beat the Summer The Blender Girl Smoothies

It’s summer, Girl Smoothies which means its hot, making it the perfect time for refreshing smoothies!

I’m thankful to have the opportunity to introduce you to such a lovely woman and her fabulous new cookbook – The Blender Girl Smoothies!  This little book contains 100 gluten-free, vegan & paleo-friendly recipes to take your smoothie creations to the next level in flavor and nutrition.

I’m inspired by Tess’s ability to overcome health challenges by embracing a plant-based diet, resulting in a passion for health and nutrition.  I have the privilege of seeing similar benefits in my clients who embrace a whole-food, plant-based diet and applaud all who make the initial effort to embrace a new lifestyle which always results in beautiful long-term benefits.

The Blender Girl Smoothies! 

Begin your smoothie journey by learning some essential “smoothie secrets”, which include tips and tricks to blend up the perfect creation.  This includes everything from the best order to toss ingredients in the blender (it really does make a difference!), to how to store produce properly, and even tips for how to beat bloating.  We can be ever so happy Tess didn’t keep these little secrets to herself.:)

Prior to diving into the recipes you’ll receive a guide for how to build your own smoothie and find your perfect blend, providing icons for each recipe indicating smoothies that are focused on detox, weight loss, boosting immunity, anti-inflammatory, energizing, alkalinizing, as well as those that are rich in protein, contain nuts, and are unsweetened.

I’ve been blending like crazy and have thoroughly enjoyed many smoothies, including:
  • Summer Stoner (pages 48-49)
  • Rosemary Melonade (pages 50-51) – Recipe below!
  • Green Mojito (pages 102-103)
  • Grapefruit Fennel Fix (pages 134-135)

Tess has so kindly provided permission to reprint of one of my favorites for you to enjoy as well

This exotic blend sips like a fancy cocktail, but skips the hefty bar tab. Melon is hydrating, and rich in vitamin C and anti-inflammatory lycopenes, while rosemary contributes awesome flavor and antibacterial backup. The combination makes this your secret immunity agent! Throw in the jalapeño for an added cleanse and kick.

Serves 2

  •  3 cups (480g) chopped seedless watermelon, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 lemon, peeled and seeded
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
  • 1⁄2 cup (80g) frozen pineapple
  • 1⁄4 cup (80g) frozen strawberries
  • 5 drops alcohol-free liquid stevia, plus more to taste (optional)
  • optional boosters
  • 1⁄2 cup (60g) frozen raw cauliflower florets
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon finely chopped jalapeño chile

Throw all of the ingredients into your blender and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until well combined.

Eating Healthy in a Hurry Recipes 2020

Eating Healthy in a Hurry Recipes 2020

Eating healthy when living a busy life is tough!  So how do you do it?  If you’re trying to keep up with a full schedule – whether it’s managing your home, caring for loved ones, growing your career, or finishing your education – its even more important to fuel your body well. 

You’re expending energy Eating healthy (and likely experiencing stressful moments) balancing everything and your body needs the proper fuel to have a strong immune system to continue with diligence and excellence in each arena of your life.

We certainly do live in a fast-paced culture with so much convenience at our fingertips.  This is a blessing in many ways, however, the non-stop rush of life can be incredibly exhausting and damaging to our health and overall well-being. 

Eating healthy – 2020

We want to strive to use the gifts, abilities, and talents we’ve been given to the best of our abilities in each arena of life we’ve been placed.  However, if you’re so busy that you truly can’t make time to prep some healthy meals and take a break to breathe, restore, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, then it may be wise to take some time to evaluate your responsibilities and schedule to consider if you’ve taken on more than is healthful for you and those you love. 

I’m certainly no expert in this area, but am trying to grow in the art of slowing down.  To aid in this, I evaluate my life as a whole every January 1st – reflecting on the past year and planning for the one ahead – but I always need little “touch-ups” throughout the year to keep me focused and adjust if needed.

If you know me, you know…yes, I’m a planner.  I kind of geek out in The Container Store.  😉 So planning ahead in the kitchen comes naturally to me.  If that’s not the case for you, no need to worry!  I’ve got some tips, tricks, and handy resources to get you started!  You can plan as little or as much as works for you.

Start small – If you’re struggling to eat healthfully, you may start by planning two nights a week to make a new, healthful recipe.  Check out a list of my favorites here!  If you have a large family, make extra for quick lunches throughout the week. 

If you have a small family, still plan to make the entire recipe for leftovers or freeze it for later.  Like my sister always says, “cook once, eat twice.”  Wise words from a busy momma.:)

Bulk cook – At the beginning of each week I’ll typically make a batch of hummus, cook a pot of a whole grain of choice, make a bean salad, and a loaf of bread as our “staples” throughout the week.  If this sounds overwhelming, just choose 1 or 2 items to start. 

It’s not as time-consuming as it may sound.  I’ll have my bread baking in the oven, grains are simmering on the stovetop, all while I’m quickly blending a big batch of hummus. 

Making a big pot of quinoa on Sunday can mean a Creamy Quinoa Breakfast Pudding one day, and Almond Berry Salad for lunch, or Mexican Quinoa Salad for dinner.  Yum-o!

Prep ahead – I grocery shop every Friday and when I get home I immediately clean all my produce and put it in containers.  This saves time when I need to cook, plus I can easily see and access all my produce throughout the week = less waste!

Meal plan – Looking at the week ahead and putting a few meals on the schedule can mean less opportunity to grab something unhealthy and actually be quicker since you’ll be ready to dive into cooking!  And, as I mentioned, planning ahead enables you to purchase only what you need when grocery shopping.  Download one of my free meal planners (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner OR Lunch & Dinner) and make plenty of copies for the weeks ahead.

Keep Healthy On-Hand – Out with the old and in with the new!  If you have healthy options on hand you’ll make healthy choices.  That’s why I always have a batch of some type of nut-date balls in my freezer to satisfy every sweet tooth.:) My current favorite is Dreena’s Lemon-Kissed Blondie Bites.

Homemade Krispy Kreme -The actual recipe! 2020

July 21, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Homemade Krispy Kreme -The actual recipe

I’m so excited about this!  The only Krispy Kreme donut shop by us closed months ago!

Donut Recipe:

  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 tsp dry active yeast
  • 8 oz all-purpose flour (a little under 2 cups – I recommend you measure and weigh. See my note above)
  • 1 1/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 oz butter, cold to room temperature
  • dash of salt
  • Enough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok or a deep fryer.

Krispy Kreme Directions:

In a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.

Add the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes—it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.

Once risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.

Cover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375F.

Place the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don’t overcrowd and stick together.

Drain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won’t get that delicious coverage!

Glaze:

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons hot water or as needed

A brief note: I recommend a scale, as not all flours (and cup measurements) are made equal. 2 cups of Canadian flour in Canadian cups on a scale might be more or less than yours etc.  If you don’t have a scale, start at 1 1/2 cups and work your way up from there.
