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 nutrition in without taking a lot of time to do so.

Vacation, meet nutrition, in the form of this beautiful drink.…

Mid-June when strawberries are in peak season here, I found the most perfect looking local strawberries. I bought a quart that day and went back the next day for a flat. Strawberry season is so short that we need to get our fix while we can, but not even Mike and I (despite eating them by the bowlful just about around the clock) could go through that many berries by ourselves!...

How to Make Coconut Milk {Vegan, Lactose-Free}

November 14, 2010 by Faith 52 Comments

With the high prevalence of people choosing vegan foods and people living with food allergies, dairy-free milk substitutes are becoming increasingly popular. I remember my little brother being lactose intolerant when he was young and his doctor recommending he drink goat’s milk, which still contains lactose but for some reason is easier to digest than cow’s milk. My sister and I teased him relentlessly (all in good fun…what are loving big sisters for?), calling him a little “kid” (bad pun, I know). Anyway, nowadays even in regular grocery stores you can usually find several different kinds of dairy-free milk, including rice, almond, soy, and coconut […]...
