Eggnog Frappuccino

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 11 Comments

Bring the coffee shop to your house with this eggnog frappuccino that's easy to make at home-- all you need is eggnog, banana, coffee, (protein powder-- if you wish) and a blender!  It's that time of year where eggnog and peppermint and Christmas lights and fresh pine scents are my EVERYTHING! Last night we decorated our Christmas tree and I've been listening to Christmas music and watching Elf on repeat while sipping on homemade peppermint hot chocolate. And today I'm drinking this Eggnog Frappuccino by my Christmas tree. Don't you just love the smell of a fresh Christmas tree?? I can't get enough. Who's with me? I made this Eggnog Frappuccino recipe on the blog a few years back but wanted to bring it back to life and make a fresh batch for you today with some new photos! :) This ... View Post

Cherry Turmeric Bedtime Tea

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 15 Comments

This Cherry Turmeric Bedtime Tea recipe was developed in partnership with the Cherry Marketing Institute. I'd like to introduce you to Cherry Turmeric Bedtime Tea. If you read this blog or follow me on social, you know I drink coffee... on the regular. It's my first thang in the morning thang and occasionally (read: often) I enjoy a decaf latte or homemade eggnog frappuccino in the afternoon. Or sometimes I get a little crazy (or caffeinated...it's only semantics people) and pour espresso over my oatmeal. But I must confess, this coffee lover met Cherry Turmeric Bedtime Tea. I'm not one of those that likes to drink coffee before bed, sure I'll take decaf coffee with dessert but right before bed, something warm, comforting, sleep inducing (and freaking healthy) is in order. Because ... View Post

Tropical Superfood Smoothie {plus VIDEO}

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 22 Comments

This Tropical Superfood Smoothie video post is sponsored by ALDI. You guys, my son is obsessed with smoothies. Heck, he must have acquired that taste in the womb thanks to my smoothie madness over here. I love it though because smoothies are so easy to make and it’s a great way to get in fruits, veggies and healthy fats for the babe! Yeah, Tropical Superfood Smoothie I’m talking about you. As a little baby when we first started solids (6 months) he would pretty much only drink from a straw, no spoons coming at this boy. He’s a do it himself type of guy. (Must have received that sweet quality from his mama too). He loves sitting on my hip while I blend up a smoothie. His little hands start to wiggle and he gets so excited about the smoothie, and sometimes downright mad if I don’t ... View Post
