Snickers Smoothie

ONE WORD.... Snickers!  Yep!  Makes your mouth and mind BUZZZZZZZZ!

This recipe was graciously shared to me by a trim healthy mama.  I am always skeptical when something says 'healthy' and has a name brand tagged on it.  Like brownies made with cottage cheese.  Or how about 'Doritos' kale chips!  C+C Music Factory comes to mind with "Things that make you go hmmmmmm!"  

BUT.................

This really has a Snickers-ish flare to it.  And- I love it.  
Go all out on your extract.  I have friends that get theirs at Walmart, but quality verses quantity wins me over.  You usually have to use more of the cheap stuff to get that punch of flavor.  My favorite is Bakto.  The other spotlight in this Snickers Shake is Glucomannan.  You can read its wonderful qualities here.

Snickers Smoothie

Into your favorite blender add the following: 

1 cup of Unsweetened Almond milk
(or if you're in heavy weight loss mode, 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of water)
3 Tablespoons of Peanut Flour
2 Tablespoons of Cocoa (dark or milk)
1/2 teaspoon of caramel extract
1/4 teaspoon Glucomannan 
a sprinkle of sea salt
1-2 Tablespoons of Truvia
1 cup of ice

  4. It truly resembles a Snickers candy bar but I thought The Hershey cocoa powder was too bitter so next time I'm going to use 1 tablespoon instead of 2.

  6. For months I have wanted to make a Snickers Smoothie like I've seen mentioned in THM circles, but never had caramel extract until today. I just made and devoured my first of what I feel sure will be MANY more Snickers Smoothies. And it's a Fuel Pull! It doesn't even make sense to me how good it is. I am so happy!

  8. Really enjoyed taste of smoothie. Added a small handful of kale and a Tblsp of flaxseed meal. Next time will try w/half of avocado for s - version to see how well it will keep me full. THM is definitely a lifestyle change for me.

  10. Do you think I could use the integral collagen instead of the glucomannan? I can't tolerate it.

    1. I'm sure it would turn out fine. I have made lots of smoothie that call for gucci and didn't miss it at all!

  11. Seriously.

    This is SO GOOD.

    Used 1 tbsp of pyure instead of Truvia and it was fabulous. Not bitter at all.

  14. This is so good! I added 2 tablespoons of chopped peanuts and it was wonderful!

  15. I always put about 1/3 cup of 1% cottage cheese in mine, too. It makes it nice and creamy, and you cannot taste the cottage cheese! I also probably use more ice than that. Of course, when I make a shake or smoothie, I make a BIG one! I do the 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup water. Not only is it better for weight loss, it helps conserve the almond milk.

  16. Oh! And I use ten packets of Truvia and maybe two or three grapes to amp up the sweetness.

  17. Where do you get your glucomannan?

The Shrinker

A drink that shrinks your waistline, gives you energy, improves your health and fights cancer? What in the world? Yes, it's all true!  Oolong tea can be purchases online, found in Asian markets and I even saw it at Publix.   SHRINK the FAT... **** Oolong improves vitality... prolongs lifespan... combats the aging of skin... treats eczema and rashes... prevents heart disease and cancer… reduces high blood pressure... it's a physical and mental stress reliever... strengthens teeth and prevents tooth decay... improves brain power... you get the picture. Best of all it makes a scrumptious drink called the "SHRINKER" and you get all these extras and more thrown in for good measure.   Oolong contains antioxidants that powerfully destroy free radicals. Research conducted by Dr Kenichi Yanagimoto from the university of California, showed that only 15 days of Oolong tea drinking enabled an incredible 50% reduction in free radicals. Another study conducted by

NO BAKE....Pumpkin Bites {S}

I had a small amount of canned pumpkin left in my frig and created these on a whim. Not to build them up too much, but they remind me of those donut holes you buy in a box. I'm gonna steal the THM saying and say... Own It!! Make this your own. I just made these on the fly, but you can certainly put whatever spin you want on them! I love how the sisters encourage us to be our own chefs! Get creative & Make it work  NO BAKE....Pumpkin Bites {S}: 1 c baking b lend (homemade or THM brand) 1/2 c pure can pumpkin 1 tsp vanilla Splash caramel extract *optional, if you don't have it's okay* Pinch of salt 1 Tb almond butter 1/2-1 Tb pumpkin pie spice, depending how spicy you like it 1 Tb coconut oil Sweetener *the amount is gonna be questionable. There are so many different kinds out there. I make my own which probably can be compared to the Gentle Sweet. I did about 1/3 cup but dumped more in making it like 1/2 cup...BUT...I like super duper sweet stuff. Just taste as yo
