Healthy Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

This Smoothie was so delicious! It really did taste so much like a yummy blueberry muffin. All of my kids love it, even my son who hates blueberries. Which I really don't understand how anyone can hate blueberries though, they are like a treat to me!

Orange Julius

My boys LOVE when I make them Orange Julius'. So easy and simple yet so tasty. This recipe is one I "stole" from my cousin Danny about 10-11 years ago. It is very good. After looking a bit on-line at other recipe's I might try adding 1/4 cup powdered sugar as recommended next time I make it.

Favorite Hot Cocoa

This hot cocoa is very rich!! It so makes me want to sing the "Hot Chocolate" song from Polar Express whenever I drink it!!! Very yummy!! We also like to put some candy canes in it while it is still hot, and then you have a wonderful mint flavor in it!! Sooooo good!!!!
