A Healthy Dessert-Like Protein Shake Recipe!

Cheesecake in a healthy breakfast shake form? Hand it over!

I've been on a smoothie/shake craze lately and I'm sure there's more to come. I'm making them everyday for breakfast around here lately. They are fun to experiment with and they are incredibly versatile.

Today we had these Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Breakfast Shakes and I kid you not they taste so much like blueberry cheesecake but in a healthier smoothie/shake form.

I'm slightly obsessed! Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts now to be able to eat it for breakfast is a dream!

If you find you want it a little sweeter of course you could add in another teaspoon or two of honey. I definitely recommend using low-fat cottage cheese instead of fat free here, the two just taste so much different to me and I actually tested this shake with both kinds and preferred the low-fat.

It's worth the 20 extra calories, trust me. Plus, a little fat helps us feel fuller and absorb nutrients better, right?

The Perfect Green Smoothie Recipe!

January is all about smoothies right? Maybe come February I might get bored of them but for now I'm still making them every day.

Smoothies are the best way for me to get my kids to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables in one sitting, and myself too of course.

This Cold Buster Green Smoothie is an immune-boosting smoothie that is packed with healthy ingredients to help fight off a cold.

Surprisingly I haven't gotten a cold yet this winter (fingers crossed I don't) but if I do I'll definitely be turning to this. Smoothies are soothing to a sore throat, plus there's just not a lot of food that sounds great when you've got a cold other than something sip-able like cold or warm drinks and soups.
