My husband and I live near some ice cream and cupcake shops. We LOVE ice cream but we try not to buy some unless it's a holiday or perhaps finals week at school. But, whenever we're craving something sweet we make tasty smoothies with our ninja-blender-thingy! They are just as yummy as ice cream, but a lot healthier. I have no research to back it up, but I once read an article about how when we crave sugar it is a sign that our bodies need minerals. Minerals can be found in fruits. Either way, smoothies are a fruity snack to curb your sweet tooth! Thanks to my Aunt Gail, here is a recipe:
1 C. or more of fresh spinach or kale
1 1/2 inch chunk of ginger
2 T. of chia seeds
1-2 frozen banana(s)
Some coconut, rice, or almond milk (the less liquid the more thick it will be)
1/4 C. of any kind of berries
1 t. vanilla
4-7 cubes of ice
Blend. Drink. Feel Energized.
