Mixed Berry Cashew Smoothie

Serves 1

1.4 cup raw cashews
1.2 cup almond milk

Grind the raw cashes to a powder in the blender. Add the almond milk, then the berries. Blend until smooth.

I can't wait for phase 3 again so I can try this one!

    Mango-Avocado Smoothie

    Serves 1

    3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
    1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
    1/4 avocado

    Pour the coconut milk into the blender. Add the mango and avocado and blend until smooth.

    Avocado in a smoothie? I guess we'll have to try it! Apparently creamy avocado blends perfectly with mango and coconut and it's refreshing and naturally sweet!.

    Overnight Steel-Cut Oats
    Appropriate for Phase One and Phase Three
    Makes 4 to 8 servings
    1 cup steel cut oats
    4 cups water
    Combine the oats and water in a large saucepan. Boil 1 minute. turn off the heat, cover the pan and let it stand overnight at room temperature. In the morning, remove the lid and bring the oats to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until the oats are creamy yet still a little bit chewy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Cooked oats will keep in the fridge for a week. You can just spoon out a serving (1 cup for phase one or 1/2 cup for phase three) add a little water and reheat in the microwave for a minute or two. Or, you can make a huge batch and freeze single servings. Then, add your favorite mix-ins (per 1 cup of oatmeal):

    Phase One
    Peach-Ginger Oatmeal
    Add 1/2 cup chopped peaches, 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
    Phase Three add in - 1/4 cup chopped almonds in addition.

    Phase One
    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
    Stir in 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and Stevia to taste.
    Phase Three
    Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of coconut milk, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup fresh blueberries and 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut.

    Phase 3
    Raspberry-Hazelnut Oatmeal
    Add 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, then top with 1/2 cup raspberries.
    Phase 3
    Cherry-Almond Butter Swirl Oatmeal
    Swirl in 2 tablespoons almond butter and top with 1/2 cup dark-red cherries (frozen is fine).

    I posted these with Pictures on Haylies Facebook Page:

    Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

    I adapted it from the chocolate chips cookie dough recipe from chocolatecoveredkatie.com, I made her recipe FMD friendly by adding cocoa nibs instead of chocolate chips, almond butter, stevia instead of sugar (I only used about 5 drops so it is not overly sweet but I'd rather it be not too sweet than have that aftertaste it probably would work better with Xylitol) I also added unsweetened cocoa powder and cinnamon and omitted the oats. http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/05/23/want-to-eat-an-entire-bowl-of-cookie-dough/

    Carrot cake pancakes with an Almond-Coconut topping

    1/3 cup oats blended to flour consistency 1/3 cup shredded carrot 1 tsp baking powder about 1/2 cup of milk (depends how thick you like)and 1 tbsp. egg whites dash of salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and stevia. Topped with 1/2 portion almond butter 1/2 portion canned coconut milk.

    Ooh, I want you to contribute to our Pinterest boards! If you would, please send me your email address, so I can make you a pinner on them.

    How do you think we count the cookie dough dip--say, 3/8 cup (i.e. 3 T) per serving? (if 1/2 cup beans=1 serving fat/protein and 2 T almond butter=1 serving, than 1/2 serving of beans plus 1/2 serving of almond butter=3 T.

    Do you just eat the dip straight, or is there a P3 fruit or veggie you'd recommend with it?

    The pancakes sound yummy too!

    Hey Michelle, I sent you my email on FB. Haha I'll just have to learn how to pin my own pictures (I'm sure I can figure it out) I am loving this Phase. I have been trying to eat "healthy" since January and have been following a lower calorie diet with a lot of the same foods on Phase 3 that's what attracted me to FMD. I have a major sweet tooth and love to bake so I am loving this phase. My wheels are turning for phase one as well but usually when I bake fat free I use applesauce which we really shouldn't be using I don't think. So I was thinking of trying some things on Monday maybe boiling an apple to soften it and then puree it skin and all I think should be ok on FMD or maybe even pureed mango. Anyway having lots of fun on this phase, excited to share my experiments :)

    I think you should start a blog :) I think it's easier to pin from a blog.

    Re: Mango Avocado Smoothie - sounds lovely! 2 of my favs! But Mango is not Phase 3 approved and Avocado isn't allowed on Phase 1, so this won't be good for FMD
    Btw I do put it in green smoothies all the time. So when I get off FMD, I'll be sure to try this.
