Smooth out the day

Some days are jam packed and I find myself at my computer instead of taking a meal break. Today was one of them and I was flagging by midafternoon, this guilty pleasure smoothie helped with some of the rough edges -- although it doesn't have anything in it to be guilty about, it just feels so decadent. Bonus - after I had this midafternoon I was pumped enough to hike up and visit the neigh-bors. 

Guilty Pleasure Afternoon Pick Me Up

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 cup cold coffee (or 1 cup cold water + instant coffee)
  • 1 cup frozen bananas
  • 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Blend
  2. Serve cold. 

Here's another favorite - Spice blends are so much fun, I like the Tea Masala paired with pumpkin. 

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 cup roasted pumpkin
  • 1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp chopped dates (soaked in milk if I planned ahead) 
  • 1 Tbsp Punjas Tea Masala 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Blend
  2. Serve cold. 

I like this guide from Prevention Magazine for mixing and matching, although my smoothies tend to stray from its suggestions.
