Strawberry Fluff

If you are looking for an easy, quick, throw-together-at-the-last-minute dessert, I've got you covered!!

This is STRAWBERRY FLUFF....and don't let the name (or the appearance) fool you!

It is similar to the old pistachio fluff, cherry fluff or "pink stuff" recipes that are out there.  I just made a few changes to suit my rather picky taste buds.

Ingredients needed:

1 can each of: mandarin oranges, sweetened condensed milk, crushed pineapple and strawberry pie filling.

1 large container of whipped topping

1/2 bag of mini marshmallows

This part is completely up to you.

I like to "strain" my pie filling a little.  You don't have to do this.  It just makes it a little less sweet.

Instructions:

Mix everything together. Refrigerate for as long as you can without dipping in to the bowl!

It's literally THAT easy.  You can add and take away as many things as you'd like.

I know a lot of people who add in coconut flakes or use cherry pie filling.  I don't like cherry pie so I've never felt the urge to try that.

I hope yours turns out as yummy as mine! :)







Green Smoothies

Let's talk about green smoothies....SO GOOD! Around here, we both have one for breakfast every single day. If you've never had one, you're probably asking why....right?

Well, I'll tell you.
#1: They taste great!
#2: They're extremely good for you!
#3: They are ridiculously easy to make!

I like to make things easy. So, once a week we head out to the local farmer's market and pick up what we need. You can put anything in yours, but this is what I put in mine:
Bananas
Strawberries
Raspberries
Flax seeds
Spinach
Kale
Greek yogurt

I clean everything when I get home. Slice the bananas and strawberries and put on a cookie sheet along with the raspberries. Put them in the freezer until frozen. (I do this so that they don't freeze together in the sandwich bags.)

Then to a small freezer bag, I add: a handful of spinach and kale and some fruit. The amount you add depends on how big you want your smoothie.

In the morning I take the contents out of a bag, and put it in my nutribullet (if you don't have one, you are REALLY missing out!!!), add one small container of Greek yogurt, a little water and DONE! So good!

If you're not a spinach or kale person, don't worry. If you add strawberries to anything with spinach, you don't end up with a spinach taste!

If you are already drinking green smoothies, good for you! If you're not,  you should try it! You'll be so glad you did!
