Pink Lara Bars (Nut Free)
Ok this is my last no bake recipe, wait no this will be my last Lara bar recipe for a while! It is pretty warm (108) so I am trying not to turn the oven on but you know the 4th of July is coming up and I plan on doing a lot of baking. I am a very festive person I love to get in the spirit; I guess growing up not celebrating any holidays will make you go all out every chance you get.
I must get back to the Lara bars! I never have any almonds I always forget when I get to the grocery store, and food looks better with lots of color; so I decided to add pink dye to the bars to give them a little flare! It worked out great before I realized it, I was eating more then I should have and thought about going for a run. I decided to add shredded coconut to the bars and I am beginning to wonder if coconut is a nut, a seed, or just a fat. I have no clue if anyone could let me in on the truth about this interesting fat I will be the happiest women alive (literally)!
Ok! Ok! Let’s get to the recipe, but before I do make sure you like me on face book and follow me on pintrest I will be doing a giveaway soon!

Strawberry Spinach Smoothie (Food Processor Style)
I love my food processor but I am thinking it may be time to get a blender; I’ve always believe you do not need a blender to make great smoothies (I think I may have been wrong about that one).
I went over a friend’s house for catch up and she made smoothies in her blender with spinach; there were no bits and pieces of spinach leftover it blended perfectly. I realized at that moment it may be time for me to just give in and purchase a blender.
Maybe when I make smoothies and slushies I will not have any ice left over in the glass that I half to fish out. I still love my food processor and still get great smoothies…
Lets start with the basics
Oh no! Where is the vanilla? It’s in the milk!!! Silly…
Up close and Personal
Oh you want some!?
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup vanilla soy milk
- 1 food processor
- Put all the ingredients in the food processor and blend to perfection..
