Berry Passionate Lemonade Smoothie Recipe

Hola Amigos! It's been a little while since I made a smoothie and even though holiday flavors like cinnamon and peppermint should be on my mind while the snow falls outside, I can't help but thinking that in other parts of the world it's sunny, toasty hot and summer is on it's way! I guess you can take a girl out of the Tropics but you can't take the Tropics out of the girl!

This is a super easy and refreshing smoothie. Something different if you want to try new sweet flavors and add a bit of "zing to your swing" this season.

The color is absolutely beautiful, reminds me of Caribbean's pink sand and the flavor delicious! It's also low in calories so you can still look amazing and in great shape for Christmas while enjoying a cool looking beverage!

Top it of with some fresh whipped cream, a few sugary sprinkles and strawberries for a festive look!

Make it even healthier by adding some wheat germ or flax seeds! See those little specks floating around? Wheat Germ! yumm!

Before I close this short but sweet post I want to thank all the sweet comments and emails I've gotten from you my friends since around Thanksgiving and been unable to answer. Due to health problems I haven't been able to get to my computer or blog at all! I hope and pray things get better as the weeks go by and come back and have fun with all of you!. In the meantime, please hang in there with this your blog. I will try to pop a few times a week to say hi to all and drop a little recipe or two.

Keep the shopping going my sweeties and enjoying the holiday cheer always keeping in mind that everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Lizy

Bat's Blood Elixir Halloween Smoothie Recipe

Hola Amigos! Let's start this week with a sweet and healthy note and since I'm all stoked with my Halloween theme, I'm making this "elixir" to be served to your little monsters in the morning or as an after school snack on the eve of the big spooky night ( or any day you want)

For this particular smoothie I'm going not just  for flavor but since this one is for Halloween, I'm going for texture too as well! Very important when it comes to give everyday  food a little bit of fear factor making it perfect for the fun and spooktacular festivity.

Full of fresh fruits, this smoothie is extremely refreshing and with a natural beautiful "bloody" color.

To decorate it and giving it the finishing touch all you need is a Fleshy looking strawberry and some sparkling blood red sugar, you will be on your way to trick your kids into a delicious and healthy treat!

Thank you for welcoming this your blog into your homes this morning, so you know, all the garlic in your kitchen won't work against vampires and bats this Halloween  because as you know, Once you have welcomed a Vampire into your home you are powerless, but if you drink this "elixir" you might have a chance of survival! Remember, everything tastes better with a Pinch!!!! oh....a Pinch of Love that is!

Besitos,

Lizy

Funfetti Cake Smoothie Recipe

Hola Amigos! Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing with you something sweet to gives us a little extra boost to get to the end of the workweek with a smile!. This was a spur of the moment smoothie that was put together after I decided to organize my downstairs freezer and my desire of making more cake inspired refreshing drinks!
I've read a lot about funfetti cakes, cupcakes and ice creams, they seem like it name says...lots of fun and the smoothies yumm...but all of them had cake batter...I really didn't want to go that way. So mine has none, again, I made it using items I already had handy.

Funfetti Cake Smoothie

1 Cup Light Fruit Cocktail, Frozen

1 Cup Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

1 ( 6 onz) Very Vanilla Yogurt, Frozen

1/2 Cup Vailla Coconut Almond Milk, Frozen

1 tsps Vanilla Butter Extract

1 Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder

Sugar Free Cool Whip 

Rainbow Sprinkles

Prepare your serving cup by dipping the rim of it on corn syrup first and then the rainbow sprinkles. I put the cup in the freezer while I'm preparing the smoothie

In a blender place the first 6  ingredients and blend until smooth. In a medium size mixing bowl, add some of the smoothie mix and 1/2 cup of cool whip. Fold this to together until they are both combined. This will give your smoothie the airiness of a real cake (well that is my opinion at least) you don't have to do this step, I did and it was awesome

Pour very carefully on your decorated glass and enjoy

Listo,

Oh boy...this stuff is good! You can really taste the tutti fruity which I Totally LoVE!

It's sweet and thick and airy! Just like sipping a bite of the cake!

I have to admit I don't think I've had more than 1 little slice of the actual funfetti cake, it's usually too sweet for my taste, but this, I just couldn't put it down.

Good thing the kids were around and I happily shared.

Sometimes good things comes after a good organizing round...which makes me wonder, do you keep fruits and yogurts on your freezer too? I had 4 assorted frozen fruit bags and 10 yogurts!

Thank you for sharing your time with me today! I hope you enjoy my version of this treat and try your own combination of great flavors!

Remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Lizy
