Root Veg Juice
Juice & Smoothie Week Post #3: What? Root vegetable juice? Yes. This is the weirdest one I’ve tried. After having my juicer for almost a year now, I’m finally starting to branch out from the very typical all-fruit or fruit-and-greens juices. It does take some working up to, cause some vegetables can be…

Juice & Smoothie Week Post #2! Here’s the definition of a portable breakfast: your morning coffee and your morning oatmeal in one glass. Drinkable. Sounds weird, right? Well, it doesn’t taste weird! It tastes like a rich, doughy, blended coffee-flavored milkshake. So good.

Black Sesame Cashew Bites
This is actually a restaurant-remake fail. Fail because it’s not even close to what I was going for. But you know what? I loved the result anyway! So now I’m posting them.

Watermelon Superfood Slushie
Remember ICEEs??? They were one of my all-time favorite childhood summer treats. Alright . . . I shouldn’t speak of them in the past-tense. I definitely have at least one every summer still.
