Smoothies!!!

Ok so my mom got me really into these smoothies that you can buy at Costco in the frozen section. They have little yogurt balls in them and Allen and I really like them. Well recently I was shopping at Target and in their frozen section by the frozen berries I found these:

Well Allen and I tried the Strawberry Banana one the other day and OH MY HECK...they are AMAZING! We love the consistency of these ones and the taste is soooo yummy. It is like having a Jamba Juice in your own home...but for much cheaper! The Strawberry Banana one was like the Strawberries Wild at Jamba...which is my personal favorite. Well at Target they have 4 different flavors of the smoothies. It is 2.99 for a bag and a bag makes 4 8oz servings. Try it out! You just add the frozen berries, the powder inside, and juice or water. I added a strawberry capri sun in mine for the liquid....YUMMY!!!!

Hot Chocolate Mix

7 1/2 Cups Non Fat Milk Powder
4 Cups Nestles Quick
3 Cups Cremora
1 Pound Powdered Sugar


I have been waiting to post this recipe until the right time, but since it has been cold and rainy outside lately, I decided this was the perfect time!

I always loved when my mom would make this. It makes SO much hot chocolate mix so you might want to do a half batch. She would always put the ingredients in a big bowl and I would love watching her mix it around and put it in our hot chocolate mix tin. WE ALWAYS HAVE THIS MIX AT MY HOUSE! Being from Seattle, you make a lot of hot chocolate. So enjoy!
