Fruitsicles ♥

I made these yummy Fruitsicles this weekend with my Elflings. They were super-yummy, and very easy. I think we could have left them in the freezer for a little bit longer, but we were so excited to eat them, we couldn’t wait. ;0)

I just used a mango, a couple of carrots, a pineapple wedge, and 2 bananas. The carrots and pineapple I processed through my juicer, but the mango and banana pieces I whizzed-up with the hand blender. =0)

The simplest of tools: fruit and veg puree, empty popsicle form, and some popsicle sticks.

All filled and ready for the freezer, with a little glass left-over for sharing.

ABCC Kapow Smoothie

I can’t help but love the color that beets add to our smoothies. Yummy! This is the juice from carrots, apples, beets and a cucumber.

…and after I blended it with banana, Kapowder, frozen raspberries, and a little soyogurt.

Super-yummy!

Bunny Juice & Bananas

We got our juicer yesterday, the Omega BMJ330, and the food dehydrator. They’re both awesome! I put through a combination of carrots, red beets and an apple for a deliciously-vibrant, red concoction that we all loved. It was wonderful!

Before we went to bed, my 13-year old Elfling helped me peel 7 bananas for dehydrating. We broke them in half, then separated each half into their three individual segments. We laid each segment onto the drying sheets, turned the dehydrator on to 135°F, then went to bed. This morning the bananas were all dried and looked like little grey, chewy sticks. Yummy! They’re super-sweet and a perfect little snack treat. I can’t wait to make more and experiment with other fruits, veg and herbs.
