What we have been up to: Baby E.



You may have noticed that over the past few months I have been posting less often than usual.  There is a good reason for that.




Baby E.  joined our family in early May.   She has been a delight. 
 



We are so grateful to have her here and healthy.  I'll be back to a more regular posting schedule soon.



Simply Peach Smoothie



I get asked all the time “Can you make smoothies with freeze dried fruit?”
The answer is yes.  And you don’t even have to rehydrate the fruit first.  Just throw everything in the blender, blend, and enjoy.  Super simple. 

This recipe is a great base recipe for your smoothie.  It is the recipe that Thrive Life consultants make at home parties and is easily modified just substitute any kind of freeze dried fruit for the peaches or strawberries and you have an entirely new smoothie.

Thrive Life Simply Peach Smoothie Recipe

 
½ c. Instant Milk powder
½ c. Simply Peach drink mix

1¾ c. Freeze Dried Peach Slices

½ c.  Freeze Dried Strawberries
2 c. ice
2 c. cold water

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Serving Idea: Top with fresh whipped cream and dust with more drink mix powder or crushed THRIVE Strawberries or Peaches.
