Color Me Kris: fruit

Showing posts with label fruit. Show all posts

Apples are one of my favorite fruit. So naturally this smoothie is near and dear to my heart. It shares the same concept as my peach cobbler smoothie. Same process different fruit! By the way did you know you could freeze apples?

Here's What You'll Need:

2 apples, sliced, cored; frozen

1.5 cups milk (your favorite kind)

1tsp cinnamon

1tsp vanilla

2 tbsp honey

3tbsp quick (or rolled) oats; dry

Here's What You Do:

Place all ingredients in blender. Blend til smooth.

Oh my gosh these are seriously yummy. And that's not even the best part. They are guilt free and so easy to make!

All you do is slice an apple, removing the core. Then spread a little peanut butter on each slice and top with your favorite goodies. I used mixed nuts, coconut chips, and white chocolate morsels.

This combination gives a delicious crunch and was very filling!

You can totally top yours with whatever you're in the mood for.

Here's What You Need:
1 Apple (I like to use the granny smith apples, but you can use whatever you prefer)
1/4 cup peanut butter
A handful each of your favorite toppings such as raisins, coconut, peanuts, walnuts, chocolate morsels, cashews, or dry cranberries.

Here's What You Do:
Slice apple into thin slices.
Remove center core. ( I just removed it from each slice with a knife).
Spread peanut butter on each apple slice
Top each slice with toppings of your choice.

As you may know, my sister recently had a baby. My nephew is now 2 months old, and Tiffany is ready to start attempt to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight.
I'm the eldest and have always been the motivator in the family, but being at a distance now, has made this more challenging.
I am determined to take this journey with her (as I can stand to shed a few pounds) so I created a private online group for us to share, meals, workouts, and other helpful info. One of the things I've found myself sharing often, is the smoothies I make at breakfast. So it hit me, why not share them with you guys also?!

Up first is the peach cobbler smoothie. Tons of peachy goodness and it's soooo perfectly cinnamony (wait is that even a word?).

This is among my favs to enjoy in the morning. One of the reasons I love it so much is because, not only is it a delight to the taste buds, it is also very filling. It's the goodness of dessert without the guilt factor. Now tell me that isn't awesome!

This smoothie incorporates the sweetness of peaches and cinnamon, bathed in vanilla milk and sprinkled with oats.
