Cheesecake Sandwich

This is her son here. I'm not technically supposed to be doing this, but hey, this is good sandwich. It's got a very weird ingredients list though. It was really created by my mom's suggestion, technically speaking. I was going to have some Cheese Nips and a piece of bread with Nutella on it. My mom saw me and though I was going to eat Cheese Nips with the Nutella. That's when I got the idea of Cheesecake Sandwich. Here's how to make this disgusting-looking-but-really-good-sandwich.

2 pieces of bread
Nutella
Cheese Nips
Sugar

Spread the Nutella on both pieces of bread. Place the Cheese Nips on top of 1 slice of Nutella covered bread. Then put a dash of sugar on the other one. Fold it together like a regular sandwich and enjoy! If you are wondering it's called 'Cheesecake Sandwich', that's because it tastes like Cheesecake! If you seem revolted by this recipe, give it to the kids! Thas good stuff moms!

Smoothie Ideas!

Yep, I'm still pretty much stuck on my two classics - made as kits twice a month and how I start most mornings!

Pineapple Green Smoothie and

Berry Green Smoothie:

• spinach (1 cup)
• frozen mixed berries (1/2 cup)
• fresh ginger (very thin slice)
• coconut oil (1 Tbsp)
• ground almonds (1 Tbsp)  (spinach, berries, ginger, oil, and almonds go in the kit)
• vanilla yogurt (1/4 cup)
• milk (3/4 cup)

But this week I decided to finally try some of the smoothie ideas I've been pinning. So now I've got: 

Raspberry Lime Smoothie

inspired by THIS

• 1 cup frozen raspberries
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp vanilla whey powder
• 1 heaping spoonful cottage cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cubes ice

Without the ice it is really thick, and foamy all the way thru. It IS tart so this won't be a daily thing. Maybe when I need a boost of vitamin c or maybe when I need an actual wake up call, haha...

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
inspired by THIS

• 1/2 cup pumpkin
• 3 ice cubes
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp vanilla whey powder
• ground cinnamon, nutmeg & cloves to taste
• 1 slice ginger root 
• 1 cup milk 

I can't eat bananas, so I hoped the coconut oil would lend some sweetening, on top of its nutritional value. And I don't own pumpkin pie spice, so I had to toss in my own. This is the most complicated smoothie I've made, only because I have to pull allll these things out in the morning, but it feels healthy to me, with that big shot of pumpkin,  

Apple Pie Smoothie
inspired by THIS

• handful almonds (I think I counted there were 9 in the blender)
• 1 red apple (I buy fuji or gala)
• 1/3 cup cottage cheese
• 1/.4 cup oats
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup milk
• 2-3 ice cubes

Despite the milk, apple and cheese all coming from the fridge, this one could definitely use some ice cubes. In fact, I dumped it back in the blender and added two! Like the other poster says, this would lend itself well to adding spinach, ginger and coconut oil, but I wanted to try it {mostly} the way it was written.

And there's some new ideas for you too!
Oh wait, I also read THIS article the other day...I was happy to note that the only thing I use is the honey in the pumpkin smoothie above, and occasionally I'll still put the chocolate Instant Breakfast in the Berry Smoothie above. So according to that article anyway, haha, my smoothies ARE good for me! Yeay!
