After visiting Miami, and tasting Cuban coffee for the first time in a little restaurant on Calle Ocho in little Havana (8th St.) I came home craving the stuff! So, after searching the internet, I found, and altered the recipe to my liking.
Sweetened with fruit juice and splenda only. Makes your entire house smell like Christmas!
I have been working on the recipe for this smoothie for a while. I wanted something that was balanced and could be the foundation for my nutritional needs through out the day.
I'm not kidding when I say this literally tastes like a Fruity Pebbles cereal in a glass, but with all the natural fruit and green powder goodness!
Pineapple, Banana and Spinach oh my! Tastes like pineapple and gives healthy goodness that doesn't stop. Makes 1 blender full, enough for 3 big glasses. Great for breakfast.
A delicious low cal breakfast treat! You can even pop it in the freezer for a couple hours to make it a delicious sherbet dessert.
Buttered coffee. You can also replace the coffee with a half teaspoon of matcha tea.
My son has been gaining weight slowly. The gastrointerologist recommended I give him 2 cans of Pediasure every day. (Eww.) http://pediasure.com/Products
Basically fat, sugar, soy protein, and vitamins, plus a bunch of other waste products that don't have to be in there. I think I could do better than that with what we've got in the fridge.
I am experimenting with some alternative "Pediasures"- basically whole food high-cal, high-nutrient smoothies.
I made one tonight that looks like green tea ice cream and tastes like lime and coconut! Yum.
As I was making it I felt sinister, like a kid making "potions" again. I couldn't believe it was palatable, but I swear it tastes good. (And I hate things like energy bars...) I think I'm going to freeze some of it into popsicles...I thought it was impressively comparable in nutrition to Pediasure considering it was just basically a shot in the dark with whatever I had. When you are getting nutrition from whole food sources the content is usually lower, but it is more bioavailable so more of it gets into you. It was even higher in some nutrients than Pediasure. Anyway, you have to make your own decision about what to put in your kid, but for myself, I feel better about real foods rather than vitamins and industrial byproducts.
Want to get fruit & calcium in one berrylicious drink? Here's the smoothie for you!
This is one that I put together at the last minute, using all frozen fruit. It was SUPER easy to put together. Great for a snack or Breakfast on the run. Has the consistency of icecream.
This vitamin C rich fresh juice makes a great refreshing and energising drink for breakfast (or snack).
