Berry Smoothie

I am sorry I have not been posting much lately this week has been an extremely busy one for our family.

We have also been having a lot of storms in our area.

Since Berry season is on its way in I thought I would share this seasonal smoothie recipe with you.

I love smoothies they make a great snack or even a meal.

They are very healthy and nutritious.

Berry Smoothie Recipe:

 2/3 Cup Pineapple Juice

1 cup raspberries

12 strawberries

1/4 cup cranberries (op)

4 ice cubes

You can make it as above stated

or add:

Kefir or yogurt to taste

if you like a sweeter smoothie add:

A squirt of agave nectar of a spoon of honey.

Blend all in blender or I like the bullet for smoothies.

Enjoy

Just for the nutrition part:

Raspberries are good for Enhancing immunity, rich in potassium and niacin, contains iron and some vitamin c.

Strawberries are good for Antioxidants, antiviral, anticancer, effective against kidney stones, gout, arthritis, vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium.

Cranberries are good for treating urinary and bladder infections,  Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iodine and calcium.  Cranberries can also prevent Kidney stones and deodorize urine.

Note:  Not meant to treat or prevent.  This is just some info I have researched and looked into this is what I  came up with.

Cocolate Cupcake Recipe Semi-Healthy

Ingredient List:

3 C flour (I used 2 C wheat 1 cup of organic White)

2 C sugar (I used only 1 2/3 cup and replaced it with the sugar cane type sugar)

1/4 cup oil

6T cocoa

2 tsp Baking Soda

2 tsp Vinegar

1 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

1 Lg (29 oz) can of pumpkin

In a mixing bowl mix all the dry ingredients and mix around a little.

Next Add the remaining wet ingredients

This is kind of hard to mix because  is so thick

After it is mixed thoroughly

Spoon it into your paper lined muffin baking pan.

I filled them almost to the top of the papers.

When you spoon into pan it is real thick and kind of clumpy.

I got 24 cupcakes and a little batter left over for daddy (he was a happy camper).

Bake at 350* for I think about 30 min.

I did not totally keep track of the time. 

I watched them and guessed when they looked done.

I decorated them with lite cool whip (this is not really that healthy though if you look at whats in it)

I cut strawberries in half for the to.

Let me tell you my family LOVED these they did not last long.

ENJOY!!!
