Zesty Tropical Twister Smoothie

Wow! I can honestly say that this smoothie surprised even me! It's the perfect blend of zesty, sweet and spicy! All these fantastic flavors get perfectly tied together with delicious creamy notes from the papaya, banana and almonds. This may just be my new favorite smoothie! How can you resist this delicious smoothie with the all its additional digestive health benefits of papaya seeds (see more info here) and orange peels (more info here)?

THE RECIPE:

Use your high powered blender of choice and blend together:

1 small handful of almonds

1/2 water
4 ice cubes

Now add in:
1/2 a banana
1/2 an orange (leave that nutritious peel on for some fabulous zesty flavor!)
1/4 of a lime
3 frozen strawberries
1/5 of a large papaya

And now for the spicy finish *drum roll please*
Add in 1 tsp papaya seeds!!!

Blend it a up and enjoy! I know I sure did! ;D

Zucchini Pancakes!

Amazing! Why have I not made these before? They stay together well and the zucchini adds much needed moisture to the often dry coconut flour. With only 4 ingredients this recipe is a breeze! Just top with some cheese, butter or yogurt and you are good to go! :)

Zucchini Pancakes

1 cup grated zucchini
Tossed in:
1/2 cup coconut flour + 1/8 tsp baking soda
Beat 5 eggs and 1/2 cup water together then pour into the zucchini mixture and mix well.

Now just fry them in a tsp of coconut oil in a frying pan and enjoy! It is just that simple! :D
