A neat gift idea

I'm a fan of Living Social, Gilt City, Groupon, etc.  I have been able to pick up great deals for myself and for a bunch of my friends (as gifts).  One of today's deals on Living Social is a magazine subscription to Martha Stewart Living and Everyday Food.  It's a great gift for your Mom (Mother's Day is right around the corner), the Domestic Goddess in your circle or for your dear friend the Ultimate Hostess.

This deal expires in a few days, so Happy Gift giving!

Breakfast smoothie

This smoothie was so delicious that I couldn't help myself from drinking it prior to the photo.  I promise I'll post a prettier picture next time.

3 cups coconut water
1 cup water
1 long pour of raw unfiltered honey
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
2 bananas
1/2 cup frozen mango
1/4 cup low fat Greek yogurt

(this recipe is good for 4 servings or 2 really large servings)

Blend in blender until smooth and serve immediately.  If it's too thick, add more water (slowly) until you reach the consistency desired.  If it's too thin, add some ice.  Enjoy your breakfast smoothie full of antioxidants, fiber, and protein.  This is so good for you.

Chocolate covered pita chips

Ok, I know this sounds strange but it's tasty.  I borrowed the idea from the chocolate covered potato chip craze, but put a healthy spin on it.  Instead of fried potato chips, I used Stacy's baked pita chips with sea salt.  The chocolate is Alpine Milk Ritter Sport (you can use dark chocolate too).  To melt the chocolate, instead of using heavy cream I used skim milk.  For extra crunch I used raw whole almonds which I chopped myself.  If you want the recipe, e-mail me: bettyclementine@gmail.com

Sweet, Salty, and Crunchy- the perfect bite with afternoon tea or coffee
