Coconut Rose Smoothie

December 3, 2014

While the cold temperature hardly lends itself to “smoothie” weather, sometimes I just want to mix it up. When I saw a recipe containing coconut, strawberry and ROSE I knew I needed to put on some gloves and suck it up (no pun intended).

Coconut Rose Smoothie

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 large frozen banana
1/2 cup coconut milk (organic, full fat)
1/2 cup coconut water
1/4 teaspoon rose water
1-2 handfuls of ice
1 date (chopped)

Add ingredients into a blender and mix until combined.
Garnish with raw shredded coconut and enjoy!

Blood Orange Granita

May 28, 2014

One of my family’s favorite restaurants is Evvia in Palo Alto (or their sister restaurant Kokkari in the city). While we always over indulge with each course, we somehow always have room for dessert (don’t you hate how that happens!?)… and this is the PERFECT, most refreshing (and guilt free) dessert of them all.

Blood Orange Granita

4 cups juice of your choice (we used blood orange juice… watermelon and strawberry are other great options)
1/4 cup simple syrup
a squeeze of lemon juice

Combine mixture and pour into a metal rimmed baking sheet.
Freeze for 3 hours.
Once set, use a fork to scrape dessert into a slushie consistency.
Top with frozen Greek Yogurt (I literally mean freeze a tub of full fat Greek yogurt and use an ice cream scoop to serve it atop your granita).

Strawberry Grapefruit Poptail

August 16, 2013

What do you get when you combine a popsicle and a cocktail? A poptail!

When Pintrest first became the “hot thing” there was this image of a Corona Popsicle that kept popping up… eventually I just had to make it for myself… and was pretty bummed that they didn’t taste as great as they looked (what did I expect… I don’t even like beer that much to begin with!). So… when I came across this amazing line-up of “adult popsicles” I was pretty excited to give another recipe a try!
