  • Huckleberry Protein Shake

    Huckleberry Protein Shake

    Ingredients

    • 6 oz. almond milk or milk of choice
    • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    • ¼ cup frozen huckleberries
    • ¼ cup Greek yogurt vanilla or plain
    • 1 oz Torani Huckleberry Syrup

    Directions

    • Mix together in a blender on hi/ice blend and then switch to smoothie.

    Special Notes

    I stopped adding ice to my protein shakes because I purchased a Magic Bullet to do my shakes in. It didn't chop the ice into tiny pieces like the blender did. I like the Magic Bullet as it's much easier to clean and use than using my big blender all the time. With using the Magic Bullet, I increased the almond milk to 8oz to compensate for the ice that I'm not using now.

    1 serving

    • 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 lb. chicken thighs boneless skinless chopped up

    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp minced garlic or 2 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 tsp chicken seasoning (adds deep flavoring)

  • Sweet Chili Sandwich Sauce

    Sweet Chili Sandwich Sauce

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup Miracle Whip
    • 2 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
    • 1 Tbsp honey
    • 2 tsp hot sauce

    Directions

    To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl; then transfer to a jar. I use a mason jar to hold this in the refrigerator. 

     

    Note about Miracle Whip: Yes, you can use Mayo. My husband and I like Miracle Whip and always have it on hand. We only buy a small jar of mayo for certain recipes, so when I wanted to whip up for sandwiches for picnics over the summer... it was natural to grab for the Miracle Whip. We also used Frank's thick hot sauce in this recipe rather than our regular go to Tabasco and it was very good.
