Happy November Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and Halloween! I had a doctors appointment last Friday and according to my doctor, my baby can come at any time! :) I am going back on Wednesday, so I will have more info then. But I am full term and everything is going smoothly! Yippy!
Anyway, I was super excited to see organic grapefruit at Whole Foods over the weekend. I couldn't wait to enjoy one, but unfortunately, they are mealy and soft inside. Yuck! I was so disappointed!

| I picked up some Cranberry Apple Butter at Trader Joes last week! Completely vegan, with minimum ingredients, this spread is sweet and tart. I just love cranberry anything! |
 |
| There are many ways you can enjoy the spread. I came up with a super delicious way! I added it to a smoothie! This smoothie was like Peanut Butter and Jelly! Soooo good! I am so happy I am not getting nauseous from smoothies anymore, I can even enjoy green ones again! |

Starshine PB & J Smoothie:
Add half a bag of cranberries (I use frozen organic), one frozen banana, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (or almond butter), 2 tablespoons of Cranberry Apple Butter (or if you can't get this at Trader Joes, you can use unsweetened cranberry juice in place of water, if you are going this route, I suggest sweetening with some Stevia), lastly add one cup (or so) of water. Blend and enjoy!!! PB & J in a glass!!

| I guess I am on a cranberry kick, this smoothie was frozen organic cranberries, banana, Sunwarrior protein, almond milk and Maca powder. |
 |
| Have a great day everyone! |

I'll have to check TJ's for that Cranberry Apple Butter, I love Apple Butter anyways so I'm sure this is delish. Great idea to use it in a smoothie. yum!
You made it! Your baby will be born this month! Hooray!
I always love a new smoothie recipe. I'm sorry to hear, though, that you had some trouble with smoothies earlier on! I'm glad that's passed for you!
Stay well!
Super excited for you.

cranberry apple butter sounds delightful. can't believe it's already that time of year again! it's cozy but i'm cold!=)
I commend you for sticking out with raw smoothies. Im slowly eating more and more cooked because of the temperature and have to make a conscious effort to eat raw. Apple Butter is so amazing, and cranberries?! so festive!
