Peach Pie Smoothie

I saw the name Peach Pie Smoothie and had to make it.  I am sure if this had been called a peach smoothie, the recipe would have been the same and I would have passed it by.  I am sure, I am not the only one who is attracted by the name of a recipe or the ingredients.  So, because of the word, "pie", we are drinking healthy and delicious peach drinks.  I have a feeling, next time, I make this, I will add almond flavoring and blueberries to the peaches for a variation.

Peach Pie Smoothie
Adapted Ellie Krieger,
Prep Time: 5 min       serving, 2 cups

Ingredients:  (I doubled this or we would not have enough.  We drank it with a savory lunch and it was just right for this.  I only doubled the milk, yogurt and peaches.  It did not need additional flavoring.  If you like it sweeter, add another tablespoon honey.)

  • 1/2 cup nonfat or 1 percent lowfat milk
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen unsweetened peaches
  • 1 tablespoon honey, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Pinch ground ginger

Method:

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

    I love your idea of drinking this with lunch -- who needs a milkshake when you could have something just as delicious that's also healthy? It looks really refreshing!

    This was excellent. My niece came over and she had the smoothie for lunch. My hubby was working up a sweat outside doing yard work, so the smoothie was a great refresher/energizer for him. I got left overs :( but will be making this again JUST for me. Loved it.
    *I will add more peaches and also use fresh when available. I think that will add to the peachy flavor.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
