Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here is a decadent recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Some of you may object that it's not a super healthy recipe for people on extreme diets, as it includes all purpose flour and sugar, and oil, but we all deserve a treat once in a while, and this is...
Health Benefits of Oatmeal
Health benefits of oats are well known. Eating a bowl of oatmeal each morning is the second perfect way to start your day off right. I say second, because, I believe a green smoothie is the first! Of course, you can combine a green smoothie with oats, such as this lime-oats-greens smoothie, for a total winner in the breakfast department.
I like to use the quick-one-minute rolled oats for a quick, no-cooking-required healthy breakfast. I soak them in almond or soy milk, and toss in some dried fruit, nuts and seeds for even more nutritional benefits.
Lime-Oats Green Smoothie: Refreshing & Filling Breakfast Smoothie
This is a terrific breakfast smoothie recipe. Because it contains oats, it’s more filling than just fruits-and-greens smoothie, so it will keep you full longer.
2 Delicious Ginger Smoothie Recipes, Plus Health Benefits of Ginger
Whenever I feel I’m falling into the rut with my green smoothie routine, I love to add some new ingredients to create new taste combinations and boost nutrition.
This time, I decided to go for some ginger, which I don’t use very often in my kitchen. Health benefits of ginger cannot be overstated, including a multitude of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. Plus you get that distinct peppery-sweet taste, which combines very well with fruits and greens..
Once blended with some greens, frozen fruits, and bananas, you’ll be rocking one healthy ginger smoothie!
5 Minute Super-Easy Fresh Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
I love tomato soup, but not the variety that you find canned in stores that is loaded with sodium, and other not-so-desirable ingredients. It’s easy to make your own tomato soup from fresh ingredients or from diced tomatoes that you can buy canned.
However, since this is a site for smoothie and blending fanatics (;-)), why not live a little and experiment with a raw – and living – version of tomato soup.
This recipe for a cold tomato basil soup is similar to a gazpacho soup, but with little extra flavoring of garden-fresh basil (or other fresh herbs).
It is low-fat, low-calorie, GMO-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan.
