Prepped baby food jars

These prepped fruit/veggie jars would obviously work for smoothies in addition to baby food or if you're doing a juice cleanse. After we shop things get chopped up and put in jars to throw into the blender to make fresh squeeze pouches for baby Aislynn who is now 15 months old and still loves her squeezy's. Posted in the photo is a strawberry, carrot, mango and parsley jar and a mango, banana, parsley and peas jar. Both batches are topped off with lime juice and refrigerated for 24 hours or frozen until you're ready to blend a yummy nutrient packed puree.

Hazelnut cinnamon latte

Ingredients: 

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/4 tsp organic hazelnut extract

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Heat milk on stovetop at medium heat until temp reaches 140 degrees. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

Like your milk with extra foam?

Follow these instructions for a yummy frothy drink...

Equipment:

Small jar with a lid

3. Take the lid off and microwave for another 30 seconds. The foam will rise to the top of the milk and the heat from the microwave will help stabilize it.

4. Pour the milk into your coffee using a spoon to hold back the foam. Then scoop the foam on top!
