Cozy Apple Twist Yogurt Smoothie – easy and quick

This recipe was inspired by a desperate mom, aka me. Tell me why my kids always want an apple but never finish it.

I was so tired of seeing half eaten apples on the counter tops, in the trash, and sometimes even UNDER THE COUCH – compliments of the 2 year old.

So now, whenever there are unwanted kid-apples I slice off the bitten parts then throw them in the blender to make an easy apple twist yogurt smoothie.

To be quite honest, I don’t even get upset about the leftovers anymore because it gives me the excuse to whip up a quick batch of smoothies and call it breakfast.

But in order to keep me from feeling that mom guilt it needs to be tasty, filling, and healthy.

DO I NEED TO USE HOMEMADE YOGURT?

No, I just prefer to make ours using homemade yogurt because its cheaper but store-bought regular yogurt is fine to use also.

WHY NOT JUST USE MILK?

The probiotics in yogurt are what make this cozy treat SUPER HEALTHY!

WHAT IF I’M LACTOSE INTOLERANT?

Many lactose intolerant people can tolerate yogurt but not milk because of the fermentation and straining process. My daughter is very lactose intolerant but has zero problems with the homemade yogurt I make because it’s fermented for a full 24 hours.

In order to keep grocery cost down most of our cooking is done using in-season ingredients so when fall comes around I tend to get a little carried away with the autumn veggies, mainly sweet potatoes.

Having to come up with a way to use them all up without wearing out my kiddos’ tastes buds was a fun little task.

Since the babies are already getting those healthy probiotic benefits from eating our plain homemade yogurt I don’t feel guilty about adding a good amount of sweets to it to make it tasty for them because it is still better than the store bought brands.

The kids yogurt brands from the store might as well be advertised as a spoon full of sugar with a hint of yogurt.

Plus, their taste buds are still developing so as time goes on I just put less sweet stuff until eventually they want just the Greek yogurt with a few berries mixed in.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN GREEK YOGURT AND REGULAR?

Greek yogurt and regular yogurt are made using the same ingredients but Greek yogurt is thicker because more of the whey has been strained off.

(If you strain the yogurt long enough then you can even turn it into cream cheese.)

WHY NOT JUST USE MILK?

The probiotics in yogurt are what make this sweet treat HEALTHY!

DO I NEED TO USE HOMEMADE YOGURT?

No, I just prefer to make ours using homemade yogurt because its cheaper but store bought regular yogurt is fine to use also.

Amazing Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Smoothie Recipe

December 3, 2021 //  by thetattooedmomma//  1 Comment

Healthy Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Smoothie

This fall inspired pumpkin pie yogurt smoothie is a delicious way to indulge in some dessert flavor, without feeling guilty.

Where we live it doesn’t start to get cold until Winter time so baking warm bread and pumpkin pie isn’t something we can enjoy during Fall.

Turning a yogurt smoothie into a pumpkin pie is our way to stay cool but not miss out on those delicious fall flavors.

Before I go into the recipe let me take you on a trip to the past…*cue warpy video imaging and time capsule music*

When I was a little girl I was NOT A FAN of sushi so my Godfather would pack on the soy sauce for me to get me to eat it. After that, he would pour less soy sauce on my plate each time he would make it.

Little did I know, he was training my tiny taste buds until one day I could have the sushi without any added flavor at all and really actually enjoy it.

*fast forward to present day* when I use his method for everything new with my kids, including yogurt!

WHAT IS GREEK YOGURT?

Greek yogurt and regular yogurt are made using the same ingredients but Greek yogurt is thicker because more of the whey has been strained off.

WHY NOT JUST USE MILK TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE?

How To Make Sourdough Pumpkin Banana Bread

October 1, 2021 //  by thetattooedmomma//  14 Comments

Quick Pumpkin Banana Bread with Sourdough Starter

A pumpkin twist on the classic banana bread – and just in time for Halloween! Great for sourdough discard but Long Fermented version included too.

All my kids are OBSESSED with banana bread – thanks to my husband showing them the viral banana bread at work video.

But Even though they never get tired of eating the same old recipe, I really do get tired of making it so I’m constantly looking for new ways to spice it up.

I am happy to say that this pumpkin version is my family’s new ABSOLUTE FAVORITE way to eat sourdough banana bread and it is so good, I’ve already made it 3 times this week!

Pumpkins have been the inspiration to all my cooking lately for a couple reasons. Most obvious, it’s pumpkin season.

But the biggest reason is we’re expecting our 4th baby, due on Halloween which has earned him the cute nickname of “Pumpkin Baby“. So I’m a little bit obsessed with all things pumpkin at the moment.

Even my kids asked me the other day “why does all our food have pumpkin in it?” – whoops!

WHAT IS SOURDOUGH STARTER?

Sourdough starter is just flour and water mixed together then left to ferment. After it has become “mature” enough, it has the ability to make dough rise. In laments terms: sourdough starter = YEAST PACKETS.

IS SOURDOUGH STARTER BETTER THAN USING YEAST PACKETS?

This depends on what’s more important to you. Faster rising time or healthier bread?

If you use yeast packets, the time it takes to get your breads to rise is shorter. But when you use sourdough starter in your dough, it breaks down the phytates in the grains making it easier for your body to absorb as much of the nutrients in grains as possible. Here’s a link to a great article all about it.

DO I NEED A STARTER TO MAKE THIS PUMPKIN BANANA BREAD?

NOPE! In fact, you don’t even need yeast packets. I just like any excuse to use sourdough starter so I incorporate it when I can. The conversion without the starter will be in the recipe section for you. 🙂
