Spring is in the air, and as the weather gets warmer, I start to crave smoothies. A cold smoothie bowl is so refreshing for breakfast on a sunny morning. If we’re on the go with no time to sit down for breakfast, we can sip on smoothies on our way out the door so we can still start…

Stevia-Sweetened Pomegranate Lime Spritzer
It can be hard to find a decent sugar-free, non-alcoholic beverage to sip on over the holidays. I learned this the hard way three years ago, when I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my daughter. (For more on that story, visit the blog I wrote: The GD Diaries) I had GD with both my sons as well,…
Raspberry Oreo Coffee Creamer
Unless I’m battling morning sickness in my first few months of pregnancy, it’s very rare to see me in the morning without a cup of coffee nearby. It’s such a common sight at my house that my toddler can already say “coffee” as she points to my mug. I’m sure I’m not the only one out…
Counting Sheep Coffee helps you sleep
When I heard about this coffee called Counting Sheep that claims to actually help you fall asleep, I had to try it. You might have noticed that I like coffee a little bit. Okay…a lot. I’d drink it all day long if I could, but unfortunately it keeps me up if I drink it in the evening….
Matcha Cherry Banana Smoothie
I’m still trying to use up all of those cherries that I mentioned in my post about Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins, and I discovered that cherries make delicious smoothies. I’ve also found that Matcha powder is a great ingredient in smoothies. Kiss Me Organics provided me with a package of their Matcha Green Tea Powder…
Avocado and Banana Smoothie Shooters
Saint Patrick’s Day is coming up and I’ve been thinking about another green drink to share with you. Last year I made Kiwi Coconut Smoothie Shooters and they were a big hit. This year I decided to try avocado smoothies in the same fun shooter glasses. I froze chunks of avocado and banana first to make it extra…
Oatmeal Smoothies
Oatmeal in a smoothie? It may sound strange, but it’s actually delicious! I first came across this concept on Gina’s Skinny Recipes. You must check out her site if you haven’t already, it’s one of my favourite places to find recipes for low fat food that tastes great. She wrote a post about a healthy oatmeal shake known as Avena,…
Strawberry Julius
A refreshing blender drink made with strawberries, ice, and a hint of vanilla. It’s a great way to get more fruit in your child’s diet, or your own! 1 1/2 cups strawberries 1 cup ice cubes 1/2 cup water 1 tbsp powdered milk 1 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Combine all ingredients in a blender and…
Kiwi Coconut Smoothie Shooters
Here’s a fun and healthy green drink for St. Patrick’s Day made with fresh kiwis and whipped coconut cream. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:5] I wanted to make something green in honour of St Patricks Day, but without any artificial colouring. Kiwi fruit and spinach worked great in these smoothies to provide the green colour I was looking for. I…
