Sweet Baby Green Juice

Posted on by spicechicksofdrip

Do you find yourself struggling to eat your daily allotted veggies? These super greens are easy to make and way cheaper than buying by the bottle at the store. I make a new batch about every 3-4 days. It’s fresh and sweetened with a fresh peach, pear, and pineapple juice. 


Sweet Baby Green Juice

By:Bekie A

2 stalks of celery

3-4 Tbsp Lemon juice

1 cup of 100% Pineapple Juice

1 whole green pear or 1 apple (remove core, but keep the skin)

2 cups of baby spinach

1 tsp fresh ginger

1 fresh peach with skin on/pit removed

1 cucumber (skin on)

1 cup of filtered water

Directions

First of all, wash all of the produce very well. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend baby blend until you get it as smooth as possible. Pour through a sieve into a sealable glass jar to remove any chunks (chunks not cool in my juice). You can disperse into premeasured sanitized mason jars or a large sealable glass bottle. 

Keep refrigerated up to 10 days. It’s filled with fiber, so it also is vey filling. Add Chia for some extra protein or a hearty splash of almond milk to drink for a meal. 

Feel awesome getting your fruit and veggies in!

It’s definitely 5 o’clock somewhere when this tropical treat is delivered frozen and salted. With the perfect amount of sweet and heat. Ginger and Jalapeño provide a nice base to the pineapple and mint. The layers of flavors go on for days! It’s a grown up version of our childhood Pineapple Whip. Freeze a batch the night before and turn them into Margerita snow cones!

Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Posted on by spicechicksofdrip

I am a huge coffee snob. I love quality, strong, hot, coffee in the morning with lots of foam on top. A shot of spice, or holiday flavor is always special. However, the crazy preservatives, sugar, and chemicals in the store bought flavored creamers and syrups are enough to make me ill. My hubby is super picky when it comes to pumpkin spice syrup, and this gained his approval. As a bonus, this syrup is chocked full of vitamins, and it is naturally sweetened by Maple Syrup. Just add it into black coffee, or top it off with your favorite milk.

4 tbsp organic coconut oil 

Directions:

Add everything except the vanilla into a large glass jar or small sauce pan.  Either microwave for 1 minute until heated through, or cook on the stove top until it comes to a low boil. Add in vanilla. Pour into a bullet,blender, or processor. Process for 1 minute. Return to the glass jar. Store in the refrigerator if you will not use it in the next 3 days.

Blueberry Vanilla Mint Soda

Posted on by spicechicksofdrip

My Eli’s favorite experiments are in the form of homemade soda. He loves to dream of new flavors with crazy names. His name for this soda is “Ice Breath.” The blueberries give this soda a bluish-purple hue with a sweet hint of mint. The vanilla pulls the two flavors together with a sweet finish. If you have 10 minutes, then it’s time to open your homemade soda shop.
