Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Last year we bought a BlendTec blender and we love it! This smoothie is really good and easy to make:) I usually double it and add more honey.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
by BlendTec

1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 banana
1 cup ice cubes
Add ingredients to jar in order listed and secure lid. Select "Sauces" and serve.

Hot Cocoa Mix

I got this recipe from a college room-mates grandma.  The grandma would send a cannery can full of the mix with her grand-daughter (my room-mate).  I remember it being super yummy, although I haven't made it myself.  Cocoa doesn't sound all that pleasant in this weather.  But I intend to this winter.

14 qt. powdered milk
1 large can Nestle Quick
1 lb powdered sugar
1 medium jar coffee mate

Mix well.

To make cocoa...1/3 C. mix to 1 C. hot water

I'll let you know how it turns out!

Peach Puree

Whenever my family made cheese grilled sandwiches we always had peach puree.

Take 1 bottle of homemade peaches (I have done it with canned and it is OK---but not quite as good).  Pour into a blender (Juice and peaches).  Blend until smooth.  Add ice and blend until no large chunks of ice.

Yum!  You don't have to add sugar or anything because there is already sugar in the juice/syrup.

Watermelon Lemonade

It is definitely a "toned down" version of lemonade (aka won't make your lips pucker). It's light, mild, and refreshing!

Ingredients

4 cups (after blending) watermelon
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (~3 lemons)
** If you want it stronger, double the water, lemon, and sugar amounts!

Directions

Cut watermelon up into chunks. Blend in a blender until you have 4 cups. Strain using a fine strainer. Add lemon juice, sugar, water, and stir. Chill in the fridge until cool. Add ice and enjoy!
