Organic Daybreak Blend

One of the main ingredients for smoothie that is popular with my smoothies are fruit.

Saw this one at Costco, and it has decent mix of fruits. 

What I like about this too is that there's a seal for easy open and close.

As usual, add milk, sun butter, protein powder, and collagen powder.

This came out nice and voluminous, with all the add-ons, it came out pretty filling.  Totally worth doing.  With the 12oz milk it yields 16oz with the fruit.  Give that a try.

 

Liliput Chocolate

The danger of being in an office is that people will bring in snacks.

This one is worth it though.  It's from Switzerland and it has pralines.

It came with a box of 8, the chocolate is delicate, but the pralines came thru.

Some are fudge-like with a hint of praline, as opposed to bits of them in the mix of chocolate.  So it is on the richer-side in terms of flavors and taste.  

These Swiss fancy chocolates I was only able to search one 1 site.  I'm sure if you're in person in Switzerland, you can probably pick one up at local stores.  But since this was a gift, not like I can ask where can I buy it.  But the one website I found, they do have this 8 piece box set and a bigger one.

Teahouse

Drinking bubble tea with no bubble is my current state.  

But instead, I'm just going to do a cream blend.  

This time, I did the red bean cream blend.  By red bean, we meant adzuki bean.  It really is mimic Red Bean Ice from the Cantonese restaurants, but instead of condensed milk, they do half and half instead.  Don't get me wrong, it's sweetened no matter what, so if you wish for it to be less sweet, it's pre-made, they just blend it with ice ahead of time.  That said, it's very filling, so if you get one pretty much keep you full for a while.

Blendables

Went to HEB and found Blendables - about $2.06 per pack.

They have 11 flavors available but check your store ahead of time. 

I will say, I'm not a fan of grapes, so need to take a closer look next time.  But even if they said it will make two 8 oz shakes, it really isn't that much.

We ended up adding frozen avocado to it, so it's green.

Of course, we added some collagen and protein powder too. 

This is super convenient for busy parents, it's all set ready to go.  My only complaint is that I do 2 of these a day, so with 1 pack basically only make 1 shake will need 2 a day for me.  Also will try other flavors and see how the measure up.  This one is pretty popular flavors and almost commonly found flavor combo.  Of course, what you add after is up to you too.

Blendtopia Pops 2

Last time I had the Mango Pops, 

This time I am trying the Superberry Smoothie Pop.  

They come in on-the-go size.

a box comes with 6.

We waited to melt all 6 and yielded 16 oz.

It has apple, banana, strawberry, açai, cauliflower, lucuma (no idea what that is), lemon juice, apple juice, beet juice, chia flour.  It all came out very nice.  The whole thing blend together is basically ice-pops blend, but came out nicely.  Give that a go!

Japanese Instant Soup

One of the thing about on soft food diet is to find ways to make it easy.

I found this instant soup at the local Japanese grocery store.  One pack comes with 6 soups and 1 add-ons.

The packs are small but the flavor is mighty.

So the problem is, per instructions, between the pack, the add-on, and instructed water amount, it yielded that little soup.  So needless to say, I had to double up to make it something substantial.  Flavor-wise, it's nice and salty, like a dinner soup would be.  

Everything is evaporated, and the soup is in powder form.   If you were to mix it at work with hot water, it's do-able.  It makes a good snack but not a meal.  Flavors are pine nut, miso, and onion (but not the French style).   Go check it out at your local Asian grocers aisle.

 

Homemade Smoothie

So a smoothie win here.

We added frozen avocado, banana...

16oz of milk, a tablespoon of almond butter, we added a scoop of collagen, a scoop of protein, and for flavor, added a scoop of Shakeology.  That seems to be the winning combo. 

Give that a try.
