Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie-perfect for breakfast or an afternoon pick me up!
It’s time for the Crazy Cooking Challenge again.
This month it’s smoothies! What an easy assignment and perfect for this time of year!
Oh how I must suffer for the sake of this blog sometimes.
And then make my kids suffer by taste testing. And then just to be sure hubby will suffer a little.
So many choices. I was all set to make this Watermelon and Blueberry Smoothie from Yummy Inspirations but when I went to the fridge to make it, all the watermelon had disappeared. And I just cut it last night. Can’t get on to the kids too bad, it is fruit after all and not cookies.
There was this Chocolate Almond-Java Smoothie from a Healthy Jalapeno but I didn’t have any leftover coffee to make the ice cubes with, and the coffee ice cubes we did have, well I used them the night before on this delicious Caramel Coffee Shake from Shugary Sweets.
But I did have all the ingredients for this one. The recipe comes from Cupcakes and Kale Chips. Brianne is what I should be, what I want to be, Sweet and healthy. I’ve got the sweet down but I’m a little slack on the healthy. Be sure to check out her Italian Herb Oven Fries and her Balsamic Roasted Vegetables. Oh and she’s got the cutest little boy you ever did see.
So onto the challenge!
