Is This What Heaven's Like?

I've welcomed a new baby into my life - a beautiful stainless steel, 2 horsepower beauty named, my new Vitamix. I'm not sure how I lived without it before, but I am very excited to have it now! 

Holy moley! Why did no one tell me how amazing a juicer is? The last few days I've been spending copious amounts of time juicing, blending and crushing as many crazy ingredients that I can get my happy little hand on. It's amazing - and {best of all} I'm making things that are good for me too, which didn't quite happen when I got my mini cake pop maker {whoops!}

Here are some of my favorite recipes over the last few days of experimenting.....

Orange, Banana, Carrot, Apple Deliciousness -  

3 Oranges peeled and quartered

2 Bananas peeled

1 tsp Ginger peeled and sliced

1 Apple quartered

2 carrots peeled and cut

1 1/2 cup Apple juice 

Directions - blend the crap out of it - makes 4 cups of instant gratification! 

Spiked Banana - Chocolate Shake

          Nothing says "after work pick me up" than ice cream and booze - am I right, or am I right?

3 Bananas Peeled

1 cup Milk

3 cups ice

3 hunks chocolate bar {or more if you're feeling dangerous"

2 tbs Bailey's or Kahlua

2 tbs sweetener {I used Agave}

Directions - Mix it up for 30 - 45 seconds and voila! 4 cups of delicious chooclately alcoholy goodness {yum!}
