Almond Milk Paletas

I've recently became a Sam's Club member and that means buying in bulk at a lower cost. Did I really need a box of 3 "Silk" Almond Milk half gallons? Yes I declare, for one half gallon at my local grocery store it's  $3.78 and at Sam's $6.50 for the bundle box. A score I say, but now what to make with it other than smoothies?

 I actually use it in place of dairy milk in everything I consume but the Mr. and the little peeps need more convincing. So on to the paleta  making.



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen fruit ( I used a melody of banana,strawberries and peaches)
Instructions:

  1. add the almond milk and the frozen fruit to the blender and blend away
  2. pour liquid into Popsicle mold or cups with a stick added
  3. freeze for about 3 hours
  4. serve and enjoy the fact you made a healthy treat

Green Twist on Grilled Cheese


So if I'm going to indulge in a grilled cheese it has to be over the top. This morning I threw in pickles , avocados, and onions. Not bad at all and got a great dose of veggies.
