Since we got a Nutribullet, I've been replacing my breakfast with a healthy smoothie each morning then sometimes having another for a snack somewhere in the day. I am going to start adding my favorite recipes. Usually I just add whatever sounds good (along with done leafy greens) but I want to write down the ones worth repeating exactly.
Right now I am drinking this yummy concoction:
Pineapple Orange Creamsicle
1 orange, peeled
1/2 cup canned pineapple (not drained)
A large handful of baby spinach
1/2 banana, frozen
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Small handful almonds
Couple spoonfuls Chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Milk to fill line
Few ice cubes, optional
Here's my favorite dessert version:
Healthy Chocolate banana smoothie
2 bananas, frozen
1 spoonful unsweetened cocoa powder (or more, to taste.)
Handful of almonds
Spoonful or two of flax seed
1/4 t. Almond extract
Milk (amount depends on how thick you want it)

Made this a couple times and everyone liked it. I want to try substituting strawberries next time instead of mango.
Ingredients:
12 oz bag frozen mango pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
In a sauce pan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. In a blender or food processor, combine mangoes and lime juice until they are roughly chopped. Slowly add in the sugar and water mixture until completely combined. If you want a thicker sorbet, you add less sugar mixture or throw it in the freezer for a few hours. Enjoy!

Awesome waffles. So tender and flavorful.

1 3/4 cups (7 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour (I used whole white wheat)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS
In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients; combine the wet and dry ingredients just until smooth.
Everyone liked these. Crispy on outside, soft and flavorful inside.

this makes a nice soft dough that turns into a perfect crust.
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups flour (I use half whole white wheat)
Mix together in kitchen aid, adding flour little at a time. Do not over flour! Knead for about 5 minutes or until nice dough forms.
Rise, shape, add toppings, bake at 475 on pizza stone for 10 minutes or until golden.
Justus loves rocky road ice cream, so I thought we'd try a cookie version. Tastes more like a brownie, but it's definitely rocky road flavored. In fact, we thought next time we would try baking it as brownies. Maybe with a little less flour, though. Or add water.
Ingredients:
2 cups chocolate chips (we used semi sweet)
1 stick butter
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 t. Vanilla
3/4 cup flour
1/4 c. Cocoa
1 heaping t. Baking powder
1/4 t. Salt
1-2 cups chopped walnuts
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Directions:
Melt butter and chocolate chips. Let cool. Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix. Stir in walnuts. Drop by tablespoon full onto greased cookie sheet. Push a couple of marshmallows gently into the top of each cookie.
Bake for 10 minutes at 325.
