Juggling Real Food and Real Life Presents: Our Little Family Adventure’s Banana Chocolate Frostie

Our next finalist in the Juggling Real Food and Real Life Smoothie Competition is Nicky from Our Little Family Adventure.  Nicky is my Real Food sister.  Her blog is full of lots of great Real Food recipes.  You are in for quite an adventure each time you visit her blog.  I encourage you to visit her blog and stay a while.  You will soon discover what a great friend Nicky is.  Another fun fact about Nicky………..She is trying to talk me into running so we can encourage each other in a joint fitness goal.  She has almost got me talked into it.  Almost.Here is Nicky………… 

Hi! My name is Nicky. You could say that I love to cook. Well actually, I love to eat. When I got married, 17 years ago, I couldn’t boil water. Over the years, I was the master of take out, one pot wonders, anything in a box, simple and fast meals, and then more sophisticated foods. With five people in our house, ravenous appetites would easily deplete our bank accounts, if we went out to eat every night. So I’ve learned to cook a wide variety of food. We are always trying new things and I hope to share many of those with you on my blog.

My husband served 20 years in the US military. We have lived on both the east and west coasts, as well as a few places in between. You can usually find me gardening, reading, cooking, or planning our next vacation or trip. We love to travel and expose our children to different places and people. We home school our three children and love the opportunities it affords us. We live by the motto “Sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected”. For us, the fun is in the journey.

 

Banana Chocolate Frostie

This is an easy frozen, non-dairy smoothie recipe. I remember having a Wendy’s Frostie as a kid. This reminds me of it. Frozen bananas work best, but you can use fresh ones instead. Adjust the ice to get the consistency you like.

Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk
1 banana, preferably frozen
1/3 cup whole almonds
3 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons agave nectar1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Handful of chocolate chips, about 2 tablespoons

2 cups cubed ice
Directions:
Put all of the ingredients together except ice into a heavy-duty blender (like a Vitamix). Blend everything until smooth. Add ice and process everything until all the ice is crushed and incorporated. Mixture will be thick. Pour into glasses and serve. Makes 2 servings.Now it’s your turn………..leave your comments below and cast your vote for Nicky’s Banana Chocolate Frostie.  Do you like a little chocolate in your day or are you a straight-up fruit smoothie person?  Did you know healthy could taste so good?  Would you eat this for breakfast or save it for a treat?

    Well I did it girl! I started tonight with the app you are using. It is pretty darn awesome. I was able to do it. Good nutrition is making me think I can exercise too. Wow! Who knew? My 8 year old daughter went too. She wants to wear the Disney costume.

It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovec It’s always a fun day when my order from @grovecollaborative arrives. I don’t usually buy a ton of items all at once but I do purchase my favorites every month. I’m a big fan of the Grove products. This month I’m trying the organic peppermint blend tea. The mint and argan lip balm is my favorite. I also needed some more flour sack towels for my kitchen. My family loves all of the scents from @mrsmeyerscleanday and my daughter and I love the charcoal wipes from @yesto . Now to get this stuff put away and enjoy my cleaning. (Well as much as you can enjoy cleaning.) 😀 #cleaningmotivation #cleaningtips #beauty #jugglingrealfoodandreallife #saturday #saturdayvibes
Took a trip around our little community looking at Took a trip around our little community looking at Christmas lights with my daughter and husband last night. We think it would be fun to award a blue ribbon prize to our favorite house. The ribbon would say, “You won Christmas!” We are Christian and understand the true meaning of Christmas and want to spread joy to those that work hard to spread joy to others as well. Loving the Christmas season! 🎄♥️ #christmas2018 #merrychristmas #christmaslights #jesusisthereasonfortheseason
