Traditional Indian Mango Lassi Recipe (With a Secret Tip)

September 8, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Mango Lassi recipe pairs sweet mango with creamy, tangy yogurt, a hint of honey, a pinch of cardamom, and a little bit of saffron. Even though it looks fancy and exotic, it whips up in just 5 minutes like any other smoothie!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you probably know how much I love Indian food. Chicken Korma, Palak Paneer, Rogan Josh, Kheema Pav, and Chana Masala, to name just a few favorites.

Some are vegetarian, some are lamb, and some are chicken. As different as these dishes are, they share one common factor: spice!

Pina Colada Smoothie

June 22, 2020 by Faith 33 Comments

This sweet and creamy Pina Colada Smoothie recipe is a delicious, healthy mocktail style smoothie, and it’s easy to make into a cocktail with a little rum! Who doesn’t love a good Piña Colada, right? It’s a sweet fruity taste of the tropics that will transport you to a virtual paradise. This drink was invented in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the 1950’s. And the first sip of a Pina Colada takes you to its birthplace! It conjures up images of palm trees, white sand beaches, pristine ocean water, and a blue sky studded with puffy white clouds....

Pina Colada Green Smoothie (Vegan)

May 28, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Packed full of nutrition, this vegan Pina Colada Green Smoothie recipe will make you think you’re on a beach in paradise! It’s a great way to get your vegetables in, but all you’ll taste is sweet pineapple and coconut. The first time I had a real Pina Colada was on a beach in Thailand. It was served in a coconut shell, and I still remember how refreshing it was as I lay in the sun with my feet in the sand reading a book. For me, a Pina Colada represents vacation! And Green Smoothies represent busy days when I want to get a lot of […]...

Balsamic Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

June 15, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

Thank you to Earthbound Farm for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my Balsamic Blueberry Smoothie Recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. This Balsamic Blueberry Smoothie Recipe is all about the blueberry flavor! A tiny bit of good-quality balsamic vinegar and a touch of sea salt pull out the natural sweetness of blueberries. I’m the girl who eats soup in summer and ice cream in winter. But maybe that’s not so strange…scientists say a hot drink on a hot day can cool you down and […]...

Skinny Raspberry-Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshakes

September 1, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

How about a berry cheesecake milkshake for breakfast?, I enticed Mike one Saturday morning. Cheesecake-flavored anything is his favorite; combine it with berries and he’s in heaven. Needless to say, he was pretty excited about breakfast that day. That is, until he saw me add cottage cheese to the blender in a moment of inspiration....

Almond + Joy Smoothie {From BLEND}

June 28, 2013 by Faith 20 Comments

So, I have a funny story about smoothies for you. At least I think it’s funny. I double over laughing every time I retell it, but I’m not sure if it’s one of those things where “you had to be there” for it to be funny. I’ll let you be the judge of that. :)...

Healthy Shamrock Shake {Mint-Flavored Smoothie}

March 15, 2013 by Faith 39 Comments

I’ve never had a real Shamrock Shake, and by “real” I mean one from McDonald’s. Even though my shake is a knock-off, I’m guessing it has more real ingredients than the McDonald’s version… A lover of all things mint, I decided to re-do the Shamrock Shake into a breakfast-worthy meal that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, or any day you want a sweet but healthy start....

Healthy Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey Milkshake

February 18, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

One of my favorite family traditions is every winter we snowbird down to Florida for a couple weeks of vacation. We are Disney fanatics, the whole lot of us (well, maybe aside from Mike, who claims that he goes for my sake…but when we’re there he seems to be enjoying the food and merriment for his own sake as well, lol), so the bulk of our time gets spent there. (Last year I posted about the afternoon tea we had at The Grand Floridian.) We have a few favorite places where we always eat in each Disney theme park; at Hollywood Studios one of our […]...
