"Stay far away, Cold." Green/Brown Smoothie

There is some sort of summer cold going around and I decided I had to make a smoothie that would beat up any cold viruses before it entered into my body. Garlic, Onion, Lemon, and Honey are the most amazing foods to put in your body when and before you become sick. They help boost the immune system and kill those buggers. If I catch a cold I will eat all four constantly and in about 2 days I will be healed. HEALED! No masking up the symptoms with cold medicine. CURED and Healed. That is the way I like to be. This smoothie does though have a sweet onion flavor and a garlic after taste (which I LOVE). 
 
Ingredients:

1 Banana
1 cup of Carrots
1/4 cup of Broccoli
1 1/2 cup of Spinach
1/2 cup chopping local grown onion (can be whatever onion you have in your house)
1 clove of Garlic
1 cup of frozen Blueberries
Half a Lemon
1 tablespoon of Honey
1 teaspoon of Chia Seeds
1 Teaspoon of Bee Pollen
Oat Milk

Place all the ingredients in your #Vitamix. Blend for 20 seconds. Pour into a cup and or mason jar. Enjoy!

"Holy Sweet Balls, Batman!" Recipe

I can see myself screaming, "Holy Sweet Balls, Batman!", hence how the name came to be. If you don't know me then you wouldn't understand my love for the Batman. These balls are super easy to make and they are sweet to the taste. Did I mention that they are actually healthy for you?

 
Recipe:
6 Dates
6 Dried Figs
3 to 4 tablespoons water
3/4 cup of Almond Meal
3/4 cup of Almond butter or Peanut butter
1 cup of coconut flakes
3 table spoons of Steel cut oats
2 Carob chips
 
 
Take your dates and figs and soak them in a jar over night in your refrigerator. The next day, place the dates and figs in your blender. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the juice the dates/figs were soaking in. Blend. Add coconut to blender and blend. It will have a gritty smooth texture. Leave this mixture in the blender as you grab a medium bowl for the rest of the ingredients. Add almond meal and almond butter in the bowl. Mix with a spoon or hands. I actually had to mix with my hands. Beware: they are sticky! Add the mixture of the blender to the bowl and continue to mix. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. After they are fully mixed start to roll them into balls. Place into a container and let them chill for 2 hours or eat them right away. Whatever toots your boat!
 
Beware: these are quite addicting!

Fruits and veggies are so amazing. They are made with only one ingredient and their benefits are quite amazing for our bodies, yet we eat all that dirty food. The food with labels that have weird "monster" words for this fake food. Look up the benefits for your favorite dirty food and see what it really does to your body. I am a big lover of clean eating since it really follows my blood type the best.

Research, Read, and Empower.

Nutty Sweet Goodness Meal Prep

That is what I am going to call this amazing meal. The original name is actually Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples. Sounds a bit boring so I had to of course re-name this.
Ingredients:
1.7 lbs of brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
2 apples cored and sliced (I used gala the original recipe asked for Fuji or Brae burn)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Taste of home's Spinach herb mix to taste
1/4 cup of cranberries
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons maple syrup

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Toss brussels sprouts and apple slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and spinach herb mix in a big mixing bowl. Line on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes stirring halfway through cooking time. Cook until the brussel sprouts are tender and browned.
3. Transfer roasted mixture to a big bowl (I used the same one from step 2). Stir in cranberries, walnuts, and maple syrup.

ENJOY!
 


 

I LOVE PICKLES

I found these pickles at one of favorite stores. I was so happy because they taste amazing and they have 5 whole ingredients or less. Look Ma I am clean eating! After I finish this jar I plan on making my own pickles! Let's see how that works out for me.



Banana Breakfast Cookie

This was one of those recipes that you find roaming its way all around facebook. Your friends and their friends have been re-posting this recipe and yet no one has tried to cook it. I saw this floating around and printed off the recipe. It was perfect timing because I had 3 very ripe bananas and this recipe required just that. I tweaked this recipe like I normally do when it comes to recipe. I added extra cinnamon, vanilla, and almonds. I used rice milk because I didn't have almond milk.

Banana Breakfast Cookies
 
3 mashed ripe bananas
1/3 cup of apple sauce
2 cuts of oats
1/4 cup of rice milk
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cups of chopped almonds (I add this ingredient)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla (I also added the 1/2 tsp)
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (I also added the extra 1/2 tsp)
1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup (I added this ingredient)
 
Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Let cool on a paper bag.
 
 
 
One of my favorite ways of eating this is warming up oat milk, peanut butter, and a bit of maple syrup. Place 2 cookies in a bowl and pour the warm mixture in bowl. Enjoy. Eat it plain it is awesome.
