I am so happy that it is November!
I love fall fruits! It is all about them 'P' fruits!
Pomegranates
Persimmons
Pumpkins
PERFECT :)
I bought a persimmon 2 weeks ago from the store, I had been looking in the produce sectin for weeks and finally they arrived. I snatched one up and watched it like a hawk in our kitchen. I wanted to make sure I cut into it when it was perfectly ripe (when it starts to get a little soft/squishy)
So this morning, that moment came.
Look at all that yummy goodness inside! Persimmons are so delicious!
They taste like PURE CANDY!
((I just had a brain storm of making some type of persimmon spread... oh gosh yes))
Look at that beaut. it looks like it has honey drizzled on it -- but it doesn't.
Nature is so magnificent.
Okay, so you are probably thinking "This has nothing to do with blueberries or peaches.. or secret agents."
I am getting to that :)
Yesterday on Twitter I posted a little teaser to a smoothie I made.
...and here it is!!
Isn't the blue so rich & vibrant! You cannot even tell there are healthy greens providing a sucker-punch of benefits into your mid-day snack/lunch.
Recipe:
3-5 Slices of Frozen Peaches
1/3C Frozen Blueberries
2 Handfuls of Greens (I used spring mix because that is all we had but I love to put Kale and Spinach usually!)
1 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder (I used VegaSport)
1/2C Ice
6oz of liquid (I usually mix water & almond milk or coconut milk)
1 Tsp of Cinnamon
Blend it all up until it reaches a 'smoothie/milkshake' tendency.
I love to think of my protein shakes as desserts. With them looking like a milk shake... and tasting like one too, why not let my imagination take me the rest of the way?
