Strawberry Smoothies

It's beginning to look a lot like Valentine's Day around here.  Candy hearts and strawberry smoothies-that's how we roll.  I love making fruit smoothies for the kids.  They think it's a treat and I know that it's healthy-win/win!  Simple ingredients make for the perfect snack and I always make sure to make enough for me.

Strawberry Valentine Smoothies

1 cup skim milk

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries

1 Chobani vanilla blended Greek yogurt 

Combine ingredients in blender and pulse until think and creamy. 

Garnish with candy hearts for Valentine's Day.

If you love this smoothie then try this one and this one.

There are so many other healthy versions of pink smoothies that taste just as yummy.

Try substituting the strawberries with red raspberries or pomegranates.

This Little Light of Mine

Our dark winter days call for soft candle light.  I have a drawer in my kitchen that is filled with votive candles.  I must have bought a bag of 50 at some point thinking that I needed them and didn't because now I have a ton.  Covering these plain tea lights with patterned tape takes just a matter of minutes.  Perfect-cute and easy!  Bundle them in a clear bag and they make a perfect little gift for a girlfriend for Valentine's Day. 

  

 Hope you all are staying warm!  brrrrrr…...
