Sunday Brunch

Tofu scramble, spicy southern home fries, and bacon. I've been trying to add more 'greens' in my diet. The fake bacon is attempt at clearing out my freezer before I move. I like it slightly more than I like the real stuff (which is not at all).

After brunch, I ate a brownie. From Picnic & Pantry, a great place right next to Melt, my favorite restaurant in all of Cincy.

Review: Justin's

I give the chocolate peanut butter cups a 4/5. I really REALLY like chocolate PB cups out of the freezer. Bonus points for being dark chocolate.

I give the coffee mug a 5/5.

2 New Smoothie Recipes

"Triple B Smoothie"
(Blueberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie)

1 c non-dairy milk (I prefer almond)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 banana
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1 tbsp flax seed
1 tbsp agave nectar

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend. The frozen blueberries will make it cold enough you do not need additional ice. 

Notes: For a bit better texture, let the oatmeal soak overnight in 3/4c of the milk. Add the remaining 1/4 c of milk before blending

"Supermodel Smoothie"
(Adapted from Niki Taylor's recipe: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/videolib/init/5054)
12 oz water
1 c kale
1/2 c spinach
1/2 c (2 stalks) celery
1/2 a banana
1/2 c frozen berries (I use blueberries)
1/2 scoop cacao powder
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder

Put the water, kale, spinach and celery in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the banana, berries and powder and blend again. You can add more water to adjust the consistency, but I find anything more than 12 oz makes this smoothie very watery.

Note: I like this smoothie because it doesn't look like a green smoothie. The cacao powder makes it look like a chocolate shake...no more weird looks at work! :)
