Rad Recipes: Dairy-Free Smoothie (Tastes Like a 50/50 Bar!)

August 27, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

Dairy-Free Smoothie (Tastes Like a 50/50 Bar!) I wanted to create a sweet, creamy smoothie that was dairy-free but still tastes great & has an indulgent mouth-feel. BOOM! The Cantaloupe & Almond Milk Smoothie is just the thing. It has a smooth texture and is sweet with a flavor reminiscent of a 50/50 bar without being overbearing. It’s also a super-healthy fruit that’s loaded with potassium and B vitamins including B1, B3, B6, and folate, plus Vitamin K, magnesium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, and fiber. Calorie wise, a medium-sized melon only contains about 186 calories! Here’s my super-simple recipe:…

June 9, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I am a big fan of wine. Some days, however, I just want something a little lighter, a little juicier, a little more like a glass of when-I-was-a-little-girl-on-summer-break punch.

Enter the Summer-y Wine Spritzer! Simple. Tasty. Girly. Perfect! In the name of research, I tried a few different combos. BECAUSE I CARE. <3 I have a version for reds and version for whites, but…

April 27, 2016 - By The Blessings Butterfly

After back-to-back weekends of seemingly nonstop partying with friends & family, my body has had just about enough with the heavy foods, desserts, and more than a few adult beverages.

I created a neat little smoothie that’s green and sweet and wonderful that does just that! Here’s my recipe: 1/2 ripe banana…
