Smoothie in a Jar

Stumbled upon this idea, tried it, and some how it worked! I love it since I can now portion my smoothies. I can't be the only one who goes to make a smoothie just for themselves and makes enough for two if not three people. These make for great customized and easy access breakfasts or snacks and are transportable.

These are super simple to put together too. Fill a small mouth mason jar with everything you want, cap and freeze. When you're ready to make the smoothie add vegan milk and blend. The base of most blenders should separate from the bowl and fit the jar.  Blending can take a while depending on how full the jar is and how good your blender is.







Tips and tricks:
~Don't fill too full. The milk needs to be able to go everywhere to aid in blending.
~Don't let the milk freeze. I don't know how I did it but it wasn't fun. I think the bottom was packed to tightly and wasn't being Incorporated well which allowed my milk to freeze next to the frozen greens.
~Yogurt drops work better than trying to add yogurt to the frozen jar. Simply lay out a lined sheet and make small drops of yogurt and freeze.

Beyond Burger!

It was all over the internet, the Beyond Burger. A vegan burger that mimicked actual hamburger meat. It sizzles, It drips and it tastes like meat. Or pretty darn close as verified by me, my carnist sister, and the rest of my family.


I've had it plain and as a LOADED burger.
Here's what we had loaded style. Spinach, sauteed onions, Sauteed mushroom, tomato, and avocado. Oh, and sweet potato fries on the side. By the end it was barely able to fit in my mouth but it was delicious!
