Easy Ice Cream Breakfast

Ice cream for breakfast?! Yes, please! This idea was inspired by my friend Rick, who can't have anything acidic. I can't take full credit for this recipe, I've seen it online before many times. The flavors & colors (yes I see food as colors) I chose myself. Pick any flavor you prefer, the possibilities are endless for this HEALTHY, ANTIOXIDANT Easy Ice Cream Breakfast. Of course, this can be made for any time of the day. Frozen bananas are the base of this recipe. Add any flavor you want, I chose raspberry.


You only need 2-3 ingredients for this & they're probably already in your kitchen.


For this I blended till smooth:
3 frozen bananas
4 handfuls frozen raspberries
Few splashes almond milk
It will probably be very thick, add more milk as necessary.
Add dark chocolate chips to top


Now this is something my sensitive immune system can enjoy and eat as much as I want!
It does melt kind of fast. Any left overs just add ice, blend & drink as a smoothie!

Blend all together:
A lot of frozen black cherries
Splash of blueberries
1 frozen banana
Water
Ice

Now throw on some of your favorite music, like 311 & let natures food be thy medicine.

Acorn squash & refreshing green smoothie

Went back to fall foods today, I just felt like it. So I went to the store for some Acorn Squash. I've posted how to make it before ( here ), although I will again cause it's so easy. Cut in half, spoon out seeds, sprinkle with brown sugar & walnuts, bake at 400 for 1hour 30 min.


To go with it I made a refreshing green smoothie I found online. It tasted amazing but had lots of pulp in it. Just strain the finished product before drinking.


Refreshing green smoothie:
JUICE 1/2 cucumber
JUICE 1 rib celery
Blend with:
1 cup pineapple
1/2 lime
Water
Garnish with lime
(If you don't like it pulpy just strain it 1st)

This green smoothie is anti-inflammatory! Thanks to pineapples bromelain.

Rooted blueberry smoothie

Today my body was craving rooted veggies such as beets & turnips, as well as blueberries. I thought, How can i make these rooted veggies & blueberries into a delicious smoothie. Here ya go! By the way, I never measure anything for smoothies.
For this smoothie you'll need a blender & a juicer. You'll need the following: beet juice, blueberries, strawberries, oj, mango, kale, lime. Of course you can eliminate & add as you prefer.
Did you know kale actually juices? This is how much juice 3 kale leaves me this time (haha, get it?). The fresher they are the more juice they'll provide!
Add the freshly juiced kale to the ingredients below (you won't taste it). Blend all together, add lime. 

Rooted Blueberry Smoothie:
2-3 handfuls blueberries
Handful strawberries
1 mango
Splash beet juice
About 1/2 cup orange juice
2-3 juiced kale leaves
Splash of lime
Lime for garnish
Now go put on some good tunes like 311 & enjoy!

Juice the following:
2 carrots
3/4 cucumber
1 orange (peeled of course)

Add strawberries & blend till smooth
Add ice & cucumber slice for garnish

Now for the gluten free veggie pizza to the rescue! I buy Udi's GF cheese pizza. Just add baby spinach leaves & that's it!
