Strawberry/ Banana Power Smoothie

Hey guys- recently my mom and I have been trying to eat healthier- she's much more strict than I am, but I figured I could start with eating less sugar.  Especially with Fall approaching, not that it ever is very cold in So Cal, I want to still be able to fit into my jeans from last year! I thought I would share what I had for brunch today:

Ingredients:

~1 over ripe banana (of course it can be ripe too)
~4-6 frozen strawberries
~1 tbs Chia seeds
~1 tbs Goji berries
~a handful of Power greens (I think it included kale and some others greens- honestly I don't want to know)
~pitted dates
~around 1/4 of water
~ ice if you would like it colder

I know, I know it doesn't look appetizing- but it's delicious!!

Put all ingredients in blender (I'm using a Nutri Bullet), allow to mix until all seeds are blended, then ENJOY!!

Starbucks Copycat Caramel Frappuccino

How beautiful it has been outside lately!  This heat has made me crave Starbucks:) but since I, with no job, have no money, decided to just make a frappe myself!

What you'll need:
- 2/3 cup decaf or regular coffee- chilled
- 2/3 cup milk
- 6 tsp sugar
- 3 tbs caramel topping
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups of ice

 (You may want to add extra coffee, caramel, sugar or ice if you think it needs it)

Blend all of the ingredients together.  I used a Nutri-Bullet, but I would recommend using a regular blender if you have one.  This recipe makes two servings.

Finally top of with some whipped cream and more caramel!  Enjoy:)
