Nutella Hot Chocolate

One of my favorite things about winter is cozying up with a warm cup of hot chocolate! There is something so satisfying about a warm beverage that is packed with chocolate goodness! This two-ingredient recipe couldn't be easier or more fantastic, since it features Nutella, one of my all-time favorite things!

For this recipe, all you need is milk and Nutella! Use two tablespoons of Nutella for each cup of milk, and put them in a saucepan on medium heat until combined and hot! Enjoy!

Mango-Blueberry Swirl Smoothies

I love smoothies!! Always have, and always will! And putting mangoes and blueberries together in a smoothie? Yum!!

On Foodgawker (if you are not familiar with this website, it is one of my all time favorites and a great collection of food blogs and amazing recipes), I found this beautiful smoothie recipe from Perry's Plate blog. I thought they sounded delicious and looked gorgeous too! I changed the recipe a little by using milk instead of only juices, so that prevented them from "swirling" as much, but it was still delicious!

Blueberry smoothie:
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup milk or juice (using juice will help them swirl better)
honey to sweeten (optional)

Mango smoothie:
1 mango
1/2 cup orange juice

Make the mango smoothie first by combining both ingredients in the blender. Pour into a separate glass or jar. Next, prepare the blueberry smoothie by combining those ingredients in a

blender and blending until smooth. Then, take both your mango smoothie and blueberry smoothie and pour them, simultaneously, in a glass, to try to create a swirled pattern. Serve and enjoy!!

Tastes like Jamba: Berry Fulfilling Smoothie

I love Jamba Juice!  I would love to try absolutely everything on the menu.  I even applied to work there for a summer job in the past with hopes that I would try them all.  I did not get the job however, and their smoothies are kind of pricey, so I continue making smoothies often on my own!

My favorite smoothie at Jamba is the Berry Fulfilling smoothie, and my sister and I usually share one whenever we get one!  I was thrilled when I achieved a similar taste and consistency on my own!

Nutella Smoothie

If I am addicted to anything, it would definitely be Nutella!  I honestly can't get enough, and whether I am eating it on bread, in a dessert, with fruit, on ice cream, or by itself with a spoon, I love it!  So, the obvious progression would be to make a smoothie, right? :)

While it is not the healthiest smoothie you will probably ever drink, it is certainly delicious and a great way to satisfy those chocolate cravings!
