Kiwi Blackberry Smoothies~yummy!

I have always loved fruit, and lately I have found some really cheap (in my opinion) so my fridge is currently full of fruit. Well I may have over bought on kiwi's, upon inspecting my fruit stash I found I had several very ripe kiwi's. The only solution was of course to eat them, best way I could think of was in a smoothie. So I grabbed 6 kiwi's and a small carton of blackberries, 2 packets of Truvia, and some of my homemade yogurt (future post coming on that). Then I threw it all in my magic bullet, but any blender would work. Results were some very yummy smoothies that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants.

Yummy Smoothies, thank you amazing wife  *wink*

99 cents!

 Went to the grocery store and they had a bargain bag of apples for 99 cents, they were mainly honeycrisps, yes they were banged up and some bad spots but I figured I could dehydrate them for a healthy snack.

 But they didn't all fit in the dehydrator, the dilemma now was what to do with the rest? Applesauce of course! So I made some super yummy applesauce. The small jar to the right is some homemade toothpaste I am testing out.

Maple Sugar Applesauce

4-5 cups chopped apples
1/4 cup maple syrup (the real stuff)
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup water

combine in a pan, simmer until apples are cooked and syrup is reduced, puree with stick blender and enjoy!

Ramblings of a Momma...

This blog is pretty much just my ideas, thoughts, and things I do to save money, be healthier, and be more natural. I make my own liquid laundry soap, deodorant, bar soap, salt scrubs, lotions, lip balm, baby powder, etc. I am always up to try something new to save money and be more natural. I am not a fan of chemicals and words I cannot pronounce. I will use this blog to post the recipes for the things I make. I enjoy finding recipes online for making things, but always wonder if they are good or not. I also enjoy sharing with others how to be more natural and save money. Enjoy!
