Strawberry & Banana Spinach Shake (TWO SERVINGS)
2 cups vanilla rice milk (I use lite vanilla soy milk to get the soy protein)
Large handful of spinach (stems and all)
6 cucumber slices (Truthfully I leave these out sometimes!)
8 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 or 2 bananas
1 tablespoon flax oil (I leave this out becz I dont have it)
5 ice cubes
Blend well in a blender and enjoy!
(I also add a packet of splenda becz I have a sweet tooth!)
PUMPKIN COOKIES
1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
1 t pumpkin pie spice (can substitute) 1/2 t cinnamon, and 1/8 t of each nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves if you dont have pumpkin pie spice)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and pumpkin until well blended. (I add 1/2 bag of choc chips at this point. Obvioulsy this ups the calories and sugar but it REALLY maked them good. ) Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
