Delicious Fruit Shakes

May 21, 2013 by 2 Comments

Fruit ShakesThis week I made some tasty fruit shakes.  I’m calling them that because I bought a malt/shake metal mixing cup.  I love this thing!

So simple to make a healthy afternoon snack with just an immersion blender and shake cup.  I’m posting them all on Instagram too. If you aren’t following me there yet, stop on by.

And I have other healthy smoothies posted on the blog like a Heavenly Berry Smoothie, Get Well Green Smoothie, Blueberry Green Smoothie and more.

I LOVE smoothies if you couldn’t tell!  So please share any links to smoothie recipes you might have on your blog.

Microwave Cake in a Mug Recipe

March 19, 2013 by 10 Comments

Microwave Cake in a MugHave you ever tried a cake in a mug?

I have heard about making protein cakes/muffins in a mug and thought I would throw something of my own together.  Who would have ever thought I might try to come up with my own recipe?

I think my protein mug cake turned out just fine.  I might not use a whole egg next time rather just the white but we’ll see.

I look forward to trying more varieties too.  Next time I might add oatmeal and cocoa or chocolate protein powder.  So many ways you could try this one out.
