Cherry Vanilla Smoothie

Hi everyone,

I just bought some amazing vanilla beans and I don't think anything goes better together than vanilla and cherries! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

- 5 bananas
- 5-6 dates
- 1 1/2 c frozen cherries
- 1'' vanilla bean (If you are not using a high speed blender like a vitamix or blentec, you will need to open the vanilla bean and use just the seeds.  If you have a high spend blender you can throw skin and all in)


Directions: Blend and enjoy!

Apple Pie Datorade

Oh...so..good!

Ingredients:

- At least 10 dates, personally I make my datorade with 20-30 dates.
- 1 - 2 c apple juice depending on how many dates you use (if bought in the store, get the unfiltered kind)
- 1 dash cinnamon
- Water

Directions:

1. Blend all together until smooth.  Add as much water as you'd like to reach desired consistency.  This can be a drink that's really thick or you can make it as thin as you'd like.

Note: you can warm your water to make this a hot drink!

2. Add all other ingredients to the bowl and mix well.

Salsa Fresca

This is a recipe from my recipe book that I am working on. It is in the preliminary stages now - figuring out all the exact amounts, picture taking, etc. so I'm not sure when I'll be finished, but I'll keep y'all posted! I was very surprised when I tasted this salsa the first time I made it. It is so simple and yet ssooo delicious!

Ingredients:

- 1 pint grape tomatoes (or equivalent of other kind)

- 1 stalk celery

-1 Tbsp green onions, optional

- 1/4 c cilantro

- juice of 1/2 lime or more if it's not very juicy.

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse until all is well combined but still a little chunky. Or if you prefer, you can blend it more.

2. Serve with fresh raw veggies - I like cucumber, celery, and romaine lettuce.

You can also add 1/2 of an avocado to this if you would like to make it a little hardier.

Note: If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can just dice everything and make a pico de gallo type salsa.

Happy New Year everyone!

This is the first time I've added berries to my datorade and it is sooo good! Tastes like fruity candy! YUMMY!

- Mixed berries, fresh or frozen, to taste. (I probably used about 3/4 - 1 c)

Directions:

1. Blend dates with about 1 qt. water until smooth.

2. Add berries and blend again until smooth.

3. Enjoy! :)
