Grinch Kabobs

I saw this idea online and thought it would be a lovely, light side for our heavy Christmas dinner of ham and all the fixings. 

Ingredients:

1 dozen strawberries

1 dozen marshmallows

1 dozen green grapes

1 dozen marshmallows

1 banana, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces

Toothpicks

Trim strawberries by slicing off the top. With a toothpick, skewer marshmallow, strawberry, banana slice, and finally the green grape. Enjoy as a festive appetizer, side, or dessert! 

PBJ Smoothie

Who doesn't love a good ol' PBJ?

Ingredients

1 c unsweetened almond milk

1/4 c oats

1 T ground flaxseed

1 T creamy peanut butter

1 frozen banana, cut into pieces

1/2 c frozen strawberries

1-2 T water as needed

In blender, combine first 4 ingredients and mix on low for 30 seconds. Add banana and berries and blend to desired consistency, adding 1 T water as needed. 

Banana Berry Kale Smoothie

This smoothie is the same color as my kitchen table. But, it is way tastier.

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana, cut into chunks

1 c frozen strawberries

1 c milk (soy/almond/dairy)

1/2 c shredded kale

1 T ground flaxseed

In your blender, blend kale and milk first. Add other ingredients, and blend to desired consistency. If it is too thick, add 1 T milk at a time. Enjoy!
