Zucchini Bread Smoothie

June 19, 2015 3 Comments

vegan zucchini smoothie

Happy weekend! This Saturday we have back-to-back toddler birthday parties. Wish us luck. I joked to a friend that Owen is going to have a cake hangover. What are you doing for Father’s Day? I’m giving Alex the morning to himself, and I’m planning to take Owen for a run in the jogging stroller. We’ll see how it goes. I used to love running with him when he was a baby (it was the only way I could get him to nap!) but now that he is older–and heavier–somehow I don’t think it will be quite so easy. In the afternoon we’re heading to a state park, where hopefully we’ll be able to go paddleboating.

Here are some fun and interesting things I found on the Internet this week:

Is “responsibly grown” the new organic?

Do you read clickhole? I think it’s hilarious. Here is a look behind the scenes.

What it’s like to be a mother of boys. I only have one child so far, but I definitely identified with this!

I’m currently working really hard to gain followers on Instagram and Pinterest, so I found this article on click farms fascinating.

I’m pretty sure that if you are reading my little blog, you also read this slightly more popular one. Here is a great podcast with Deb Perelman. She doesn’t do much media, so I really enjoyed learning more about how she started her site.

Totally LOL’d.

Father’s Day dessert idea.

On to this week’s drink recipe! You must know by now that I’m a wee bit obsessed with green smoothies. Here is my latest creation. Zucchini bread, minus the guilt–and gluten!

    I have to tell you, this is the most intriguing recipe I’ve come across in a long time. I wouldn’t think zucchini bread and smoothie would go together, but reading through the ingredients, you’ve got me. It works. I may just have to give this one a try!
