Orange juice, green grapes, a banana and a generous handful of spinach combine to make our Favorite Green Smoothie. This is the easiest (and quite possibly the tastiest) green smoothie we make. If you are new to green smoothies, this is the place to start. This was the first green smoothie that I tried and my whole family has loved it from the start. For over four years now, this has been our go-to green smoothie. My kids all love it and...
This soft serve Pina Colada Ice Cream turned out to be so delicious my kids were jumping up and down with excitement. I loved that it was so flavorful and slightly sweet without any refined sugars. I hadn’t tried freezing any of my smoothie recipes prior to this and now my mind is swimming with the possibilities! I’m excited to be sharing a great new cookbook with you today. (So sorry! The cookbook is no longer available, but I...
Much closer to a milkshake than our typical smoothies, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie is made rich and creamy by adding frozen bananas. My kids were so excited the first time I handed them these drinks with chocolate drizzled on top. Even now that I’ve made it multiple times, this smoothie always disappears in the blink of an eye! I love this treat almost as much as my kids do. The banana contributes a mere...
Creamy, frothy Orange Julius drinks are a fun food memory that most of us share. No food says ‘I’m awake!’ quite like the iconic combination of orange and vanilla. My kids were thrilled when I introduced them to this fun memory from my childhood. I’ve added pineapple to our version, because in my world, pineapple makes everything even better. The pineapple adds a little tropical flair that makes your taste buds wake right up....

Strawberry Blueberry Banana Smoothie brings summertime straight to your glass. Sweet and creamy, this good-for-you smoothie is an easy way to start your day or refuel in the afternoon.

Strawberry Smoothies and Blueberry Banana Smoothies are...
Cafe con Leche is a creamy hot drink made with espresso and milk. I enjoy mine lightly sweetened, but many people prefer it unsweetened. It’s easier to make than you might think and you don’t need a fancy countertop espresso machine to make it. A few years ago, my sister Jenny vacationed in Spain with her husband. They both returned home with a love for Spanish Cafe con Leche. Barefeet In The Kitchen creator video with Mary...
With your eyes closed, you would never guess this is a green smoothie. I’m a huge fan of green smoothies and I make them more frequently than any other kind. However, even I was surprised by the way the bananas and peanut butter disguised the spinach in this particular smoothie. This smoothie was thick, creamy and absolutely delicious.
Sparkling punch spritzer made with vibrant pink rhubarb and accented with rosemary and lemon juice. Perfect for a spring brunch. I was told by my friends, "whatever you do, don't call it a rhubarb anything, or no one will want to make it." Ever since Garrett gave me some of his rhubarb rosemary jelly a few weeks ago, I've been experimenting with rhubarb and rosemary. The combination really is outrageously good, though sadly, I...
Totally delicious orangeade drink, made with sour Seville oranges. Remember Tang, the orange drink of astronauts? This Seville Orangeade sort of reminds me of Tang, or what Tang would taste like if it were made from fresh, whole ingredients. Or for those of us who outgrew Tang, think, Orangina but without the carbonation. What Are Seville Oranges? Seville oranges are bitter-tasting oranges that are traditionally used to make orange...
