I am so tickled to link you up with a Jenny the Kitchen Coach video today. I love her and her ideas and food are always amazing!
And me, I’m propped up looking into the face of our newest little grandchild who is sleeping next to me. I am in awe again at the sanctity of life and the wisdom, creation and progress made possible within the family unit. All I can say is praise be to God for the opportunity to be in this flesh, learning at an accelerated pace by what we are experiencing here together. Life is precious.
I wish you a bright and happy Monday!
Love,
Jacque
P.S. Here are the recipes you’ll be seeing Jenny make on this video! Don’t they sound amazing?
Shamrock Shake (aka: healthy mint chocolate chip smoothie)
-3 C. milk of choice
-1/2 an avocado
-1C. greens of choice (more if you’d like!)
-1/4-1/2 tsp. monk fruit powder (or other sweetener, to taste)
-sprinkle of salt
-4-5 drops peppermint essential oil, or you can use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of peppermint baking extract.
-8-12 ice cubes
-unsweetened or dark chocolate pieces (as much as you want!)
-1C. greens of choice (more if you’d like!)
-1/4-1/2 tsp. monk fruit powder (or other sweetener, to taste)
-sprinkle of salt
-4-5 drops peppermint essential oil, or you can use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of peppermint baking extract.
-8-12 ice cubes
-unsweetened or dark chocolate pieces (as much as you want!)
Blend everything together for 20-30 seconds.
Sometimes I will blend everything but the chocolate and then blend that in separately at the end; this will give you slightly bigger chocolate chunks. Getting the amount of sweetener just right is key to making this taste amazing- if it tastes a bit bland, add more sweetener until it tastes right 🙂
Mango Basil Smoothie
1/2 C. frozen mango chunks
small handful of basil (about 1/4 C.)1
C. milk of choice
sprinkle of salt
dash of vanilla
1/8-1/4 tsp. monk fruit powder, stevia, or other sweetener
5 pitted dates
sprinkle of salt
dash of vanilla
1/8-1/4 tsp. monk fruit powder, stevia, or other sweetener
5 pitted dates
Blend everything together for about a minute. The dates take some time to become fully incorporated. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, soak your dates for at least an hour first. (You can also omit the dates and just add a little extra sweetener!)

I like her ideas but wish there were a written version available of the recipes as looking up and watching a video and taking notes before I can do a recipe makes me less likely to try it. So my request is to please include the recipe in your post. Thank you Jacque and Jenny.
Thank you for chiming in Becky! I think that is a great idea, we will go to work on it! Xo
