Chocolate chip filled raspberries

One of my favorite things about summer is that raspberries are in season!!

For this super easy dessert you just wash and dry the raspberries and stuff each hole with a chocolate chip! I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but any flavor works!! :)

Day 3 Smoothie- Cinnabon-flavored Smoothie!

I've been seeing green smoothies everywhere- even starbucks sells them! Recently I've been trying to make green smoothies taste like dessert-- this time I tried a cinnabon-flavored green smoothie and here's the recipe!!! Hope you like it!

Ingredients
-4-5 small dates (2-3 if you are using large dates)
-1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk)
-1tspn maple syrup
-1 banana
-1 tspn cinnamon
-1 tspn vanilla extract
-1/2 cup spinach


Pop it all in the blender and voilaaa!!
Do not be alarmed by the green color (lol) I swear it tastes really good! If you dont like green smoothies, you can leave out the spinach and add a plant-based protein powder like vega natural to get your veggies in :)

Enjoy!!
(Let me know how it turned out!) :)

The next think I want to try is a green cookie dough-flavored smoothie.. :)

Day 2 Smoothie- Nectarine carrot blueberry smoothie

So yesterday smoothie was a bit green, so thought I would add in a beet today. It gave it a nice color!

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup spinach
-1/2 cup frozen blueberries
-1 cup Rasberry yogurt
-1/2 beet
-1/4 cup carrots
-1 nectarine


Then blend it! My smoothie bottle is super convenient because I can attach my blender to it directly- no need to transfer from the blender to a cup/bottle!
So yummy! This is definitely one to try!
