I have been trying to prep at least two items on the weekend….and write on the the blog 2x a week. I have been more successful with one, and not so much the other. So let’s do this thing!
I purchased a bag of madarins at Aldi this week, and some were not so good. When I went into the store, they refunded my money AND replaced by mandarins. I was pumped! And loaded with lots of citrus. So when life give you extra madarins…
Chop them up with Granny Smith apples and kale to have some pre-made smoothies on hand! I plan on putting this gallon bag in the freezer, and I bet between my husband and I, smoothie mix will be gone in a week. (I have a dear friend who is allergic to citrus, so edit the recipe as needed. Would be great with strawberries, peaches, and/or bananas instead.)
I peeled 9 mandarins, chopped two apples into cubes, and stripped 5 stalks of kale for the gallon bag. When you are ready for smoothie making, I would combine 1 cup of frozen goodies with 1 cup of your choice of: almond milk, yogurt, orange juice, or water. If you want some crunch with it, you can always add 1 TBP flax seed or chia. Enjoy!
Fabulous, Fit, Frugal Life
