No ice cream needed--this stuff is amazing. Make one right now.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-13716355522193376952008-10-27T14:57:00.000-05:002008-10-27T14:57:00.000-05:00Hello again, dear reader.

I find myself craving this smoothie without the caffeine from the espresso powder, so this is what I make:<BR/><BR/>Nigella's Go Get 'Em Smoothie, Caffeine-Free Version:<BR/>2/3 cup of milk<BR/>1 banana, frozen or not<BR/>1/2 tbsp. malt powder<BR/>1/2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder<BR/>Sugar, to taste (optional)<BR/><BR/>In the order listed, place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Taste and add sugar if you think it needs it. I find that the smoothie is perfect without adding any extra sugar. Pour into a small glass and enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Yum.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-55601121630611934142008-02-20T13:51:00.000-06:002008-02-20T13:51:00.000-06:00Hey JD!Apparently, if you are Nigella Lawson or Ra...Hey JD!<BR/><BR/>Apparently, if you are Nigella Lawson or Rachael Ray, you keep plenty of heavy cream on hand at all times! My goodness, some of their recipes are shocking in the amount of fat that goes into them.<BR/><BR/>I will admit to occasionally having a small containter of cream on hand, small meaning a cup or pint, depending on what I'm making. As a cook, I feel justified in exploring recipes and sometimes that requires some cream. But my daily repertoire does not at all resemble a Nigella or a Rachael cookbook!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and not to be a total health fanatic, but have you noticed that butter and cream are expensive? They are especially expensive if you start looking at the organic versions.<BR/><BR/>So what kind of substitutions do you and the wife like to make?Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-23123735663788098142008-02-20T12:23:00.000-06:002008-02-20T12:23:00.000-06:00I definitely hear what you are saying about all th...I definitely hear what you are saying about all these heavy fattening ingredients. We are always making substitutions to bring the recipe more in line with our health conscious selves. I think my favorite is heavy whipping cream...I mean honestly, who keeps a giant container of that stuff laying around.JD @ run-thru-life.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196732007819344467noreply@blogger.com
