A Little Strawberry Love

August 28, 20124 Comments

I bought myself a big ‘ol bag of frozen strawberries from Costco the other day.  They are amazingly huge, beautiful, big red strawberries!  I am impressed.

So, I’ve been busy cookin’ up some yummy strawberry goodness!  I’ve made my Strawberry Milkshake Protein Shake a couple times.

Man, is it good!  Seriously, if you close your eyes while drinking it (so you won’t see the pretty greenish-brownish color), you’ll think you’re drinking a real Strawberry Milkshake!  I’m serious!

The magic is in the tablespoon of Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix!  It really thickens it up and gives it a yummy, yummy flavor!

I’ve also been making some yummy Strawberry Chia Seed Oatmeal.  Love it!  Here’s the recipe…

Strawberry-Chia-Oatmeal-Ingredients

  • 1/3 C. Old Fashioned Oatmeal
  • Water (enough to cover the oatmeal + a little more)
  • 4-5 big frozen strawberries
  • 1/2 T. Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

Put oatmeal, water and strawberries in a microwave-safe bowl.

It looks a little frightening, I know. ;-)

Microwave for 2 minutes.  Add protein powder and Chia seeds.

Mix well.  I cut up the strawberries a little with my spoon as I mix.

Yum!  If you want it a little sweeter, you could add a little sweetener (agave, stevia, Splenda, etc.)  I didn’t add any though and I thought it was plenty sweet!

Hope you are all having a great morning! xoxo
