I had every intent on following the recipe found on the gRAWnola website. All weekend I got my taste buds ready for my Monday morning smoothie. Unfortunately, I didn't get my shopping list ready! The recipe calls for 1.5 cups of blueberries. Needless to say, the blueberries were M.I.A. this morning! In an attempt to think on my feet I found a bag of frozen raspberries in the freezer. It would seem that I have had this particular bag of raspberries through the last 3 moves. It was a giant block of raspberry ice.
Growing slightly panicked at not having a plan and now not having breakfast I starting throwing stuff into the Magic Bullet. Here is what it made:
Yes, that's a Starbucks cup that I put my smoothie. The point of this story is that in a panic I happened to make a delicious smoothie. If you want to recreate it at your potentially panic stricken home here is what I used:
Accidental Smoothie:
1/2 Frozen banana ( by the way.. if you are going to freeze a banana its best not to stick it in the freezer with the peel on... oops! )
1/2 a peach
1/2 a green apple
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup spinach
some Grawnola bites
Almond Milk ( recipe posted yesterday )
For a mid morning snack I had some Banana Love Bites which were pretty good although personally I prefer the Pecan ones!
Lunch today consisted of a spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, cracked pepper, sea salt, and a small drizzle of olive oil. YUM! and some almonds, walnuts, and cinnamon mixed with honey.
Dinner, for now, is not raw. I am enjoying my last few days of half raw/half processed before my cut off date of September 7th!
If you do nothing else, try the smoothie!!
Adios!
The smoothie looks great. The Starbucks cup makes it look even better. haha
