healthy eats: Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie

Thursday, February 13, 2014 5 Comments

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie | @mamamissblog #healthyeats #CocoaVia #peanutbutter

When I think Valentines Day, I think chocolate – don’t you?!  The flowers aren’t important, the dinner isn’t that important – but hey, there better be some chocolate involved–  am I right?!  Buuuuut…I’d really rather not have chocolate added to my waistline.

So I’ve gone & done it – I’ve super charged my Peanut Butter Shake and turned it into a Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie!

I’ve filled it with some spinach, some flax, and my favorite – my chocolate CocoaVia® supplement.

Hey, I’m all about experimenting in the kitchen & trying to find healthier ways to make things.  Quite honestly, I mean for-reals, you can’t even taste the healthy stuff in this smoothie – you really can’t.  It’s a surefire way to sneak in some unsuspecting veggies!





For a fruiter version – here’s another yummy CocoaVia® recipe I just made recently too.

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie - It's a surefire way to sneak in some unsuspecting veggies into your daily dose of chocolate.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach
2 Tablespoons Flax Seed
2 frozen bananas, cut in thirds
2 tablespoons all natural* creamy peanut butter
1/8 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons special dark cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups vanilla almond milk
1 packet CocoaVia® Sweetened Dark Chocolate

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more almond milk to make the smoothie less thick.

Notes

*natural peanut butter = ingredients are only peanuts and 1% or less of salt. I like Smuckers.

***I prefer natural peanut butter without all the extra "stuff", but I'm positive regular ol' peanut butter would be just fine too :)

When your friend loves science just as much as you When your friend loves science just as much as you do.

These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

https://www.mamamiss.com/blog/2021/04/01/adjusting-focus/

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

oh & p.s. 🤫🤗🤩🥳

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
