HOT CRANBERRY PUNCH RECIPE

RASPBERRY LEMONADE SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Ingredients:

3 pieces of ice, broken into smaller pieces
1/2 c. frozen raspberries
1/2 - 3/4 c. water
1 - 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 
2 tsp. honey
(I used liquid stevia, about 7 drops, or to taste)
garnish: fresh berries or mint leaves if desired.


Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Start with 1/2 c. water and add more after you've blended the smoothie, to get the consistency you'd like. 

If you let the blender stand just a few minutes (Yes..I KNOW...it's hard to wait!) most of the seeds will drop to the bottom.  Just stop pouring before you get to that part. Yield: 1 delicious serving

APPLE PIE IN A GLASS RECIPE

Ingredients:

1/2 – 3/4 cup apple cider
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon + more for garnish
French vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream



Directions:

Grab a pint glass. Pack it loosely with vanilla ice cream.

Add the apple cider to your blender.

(Side Note: The cider measurement in the recipe is approximate, depending on how thick you want your shake. Start with less, then blend in more once you add the ice cream to thin it out.)

Toss in the cinnamon.

Transfer the ice cream from your pint glass to the blender.

Blend on high for a minute or two until well combined. Give it a quick taste to check the consistency (To thin it out, add a little more apple cider and blend again).

Pour the shake back into your glass. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
