Creative food craft ideas
A mere two hours after experiencing a 5.9 earthquake here in Washington, DC, I’m back posting. Now that’s dedication! I could use some of these right about now. Learn to make these balls o’ energy (aka No Bake Energy Bites) HERE at Smashed Peas and Carrots.

I also love this Peanut butter
for adding to my balls.
A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top
Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.
The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.
If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great.
Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.
It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.
Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.
Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.
Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.
This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.
Use vanilla yoghurt as your base. Top with raspberries, strawberries, and a sprinkle of granola.
Add a splash of coconut milk to the base. Top with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and toasted coconut flakes.
Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder into the base. Top with banana slices and a peanut-butter drizzle.
Prepare the yoghurt base the night before and store it in small jars.
In the morning, just pour one jar directly into the Ninja Slushie Maker and you’ve got a thick, cold, ready-to-top breakfast in minutes.
Hope everyone is okay, and you’ve taken a minute to put everything back on the shelves… I lived in California most of my life, but even for us “veterans” an earthquake can be unsettling…
And I LOVE that these bites are no-bake! That way even if the gas lines had to be shut off because of the earthquake, you could still whip some up. : )
Ha, didn’t even think about that!
I was on twitter right after the earthquake and someone made a comment along the lines of “C’mon East Coast, stop freaking out, you’re making us look bad in front of California!” I was laughing at that one. So true! We East Coasters are so new to this!
Glad you are all O.K. Meaghan! 🙂 Yep, lived in CA my whole life (except for college) and have felt a couple of earthquakes, but have never been impacted, thankfully.
It was rockin’ and rollin’ in this part of the country. Glad everything is ok for the most part.
