recipes

I'm not sure how many of you are just dying because I haven't had too much time to find recipes,  but guess what!  I found some.  They are from the mayoclinic....so I mean, they've gotta be good, right?

They have so many to choose from, and they range in taste and ingredients. 

Here is one of them that I think looks super good.  (okay, maybe the tofu looks sketcho, but you could probably omit that?)  And it does have a variety of ingredients.  But not everything has only 3 ingredients!  They also break the nutritional value down, so that's extra helpful.  It beats Jamba's Orange Dream Machine.

Definitely take a minute and find a recipe to try!

Dietitian's tip: Whip up this frothy cooler in minutes — it tastes like an old-fashioned Creamsicle. For best results, start with ice-cold soy milk and use freshly squeezed orange juice. Creamy, custard-like silken tofu adds extra body. For additional calcium, use calcium-fortified orange juice.
