Last week I got a giant bag of grapefruit, a big bag of apples, bananas, etc.. And while we've been eating them, I have been trying to look for recipes that would help me use them up.
Phil went to work a little bit later yesterday morning, so after getting G up and giving her breakfast, I decided to whip up a little something for Phil and I to have.
Thought I would experiment. No yogurt or milk.. Purely fruit, and it was delish!
This is what I came up with...
Here is my recipe:
{Breakfast Blend}
- 1 red grapefruit
- 1 apple (doesn't matter what kind, but I think mind was Gala)
- 1 orange
- 4 t. chia seeds
That's it! Blend it together and enjoy! I left ours kind of chunky and we just ate it with a spoon.
Refreshing and perfect for a pick me up in the morning!

Today I decided to do a recipe I found online, but I changed it quite a bit and make it completely different so I'm calling it my Vegan Fruit Sherbet.
It's creamy and fruit, and nutty, and so tasty! I tried some before I put it in the freezer. Mmm Mmm.
{Vegan Fruit Sherbet}
- 1 c. vanilla almond milk
- 9 ice cubes
- 1 c. frozen berries/fruit
- 1 1/2 T. oat
- 1 1/2 T. slivered almonds
- 1 squirt of agave nectar
Add the ice cubes to blender and crush. Add in the milk, followed by all of the other ingredients.
Blend until combined and to the consistency of sherbet.
Enjoy or freeze until later. I just put it in a glasses container, covered with a lid.

Mine is in the freezer now, and I can barely wait until it's frozen! :) Giuliana and I will definitely be having some of that later tonight after dinner!
I decided to make a couple batches... strawberry (which tastes like strawberries and cream frappuccino from Starbucks!), and raspberry. :)
Here they are..
So now.. GO, make some of this goodness for the big and little people you love! :)
Peace-Love- and Frozen Goodness,
Linz :)
