My Blended Stuff

Okay sooo I don't know if posting this as diabetic friendly is a good idea, but...

It's kinda SUPER amazing.. and simple.

There is no added sugar, but of course fruit has plenty of sugar.

Freeze whatever fruit you have around and add it with coconut milk in the food processor. 

Add just enough coconut milk to get it to blend up.

I used a can of coconut milk because I wasn't going to go through a whole carton this week.

*add melted Chocolate into applicable flavors

Pictured is banana. I want to try plums while they are in season!

Here are some fruit add-in ideas. With any of the canned fruit I drained the can before I froze the fruit.

THE quiche

It's official! After the past few years of my love affair with quiche I found the one! I knew this was the one because I didn't have to cook it a bajillion extra minutes. It is simple and quick to make. The flavor is bonkers. Here it is!... well most of it.

As a diabetic mom and student quiche is my favorite thing to have around. It is high protein, high nutrition, and the only carbs come from the crust (13g for 1/8 of the crust). 

I don't know if I should admit this, but it was gone within 24hrs ;) 

Here is the link for the original recipe and I wrote the recipe below with my alterations.

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

1frozen pie crust

1 cup shredded pepper jack 

2 cups broccoli florets (cooked in some mannor)

5 large eggs

1 cup skim milk

1/2 tsp of garlic salt

1/2 tsp of salt

a dash of pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees 

2. Poke a few wholes in the bottom of the crust and bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for about 10min

3. Spread the cheese in the bottom of the pie crust evenly and put the broccoli on top of the cheese.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add on top of the broccoli and cheese.

5. Place the pie container on a baking sheet and bake of 40-45 minutes. Test if the pie is done by putting a fork through it. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.

*The mixture may be fuller than the crust, but it still turns out good.
