THE Greens Drink

September 2, 2019 by Cody

Assisting the immune system and gut health, THE Greens Drink may help address your nutritional shortfalls and boost overall wellness.

Assisting the immune system and gut health, THE Greens Drink may help address your nutritional shortfalls and boost overall wellness.

I love virtually all food! If something doesn’t taste THAT great, I try to figure out a way to make it better. With that being said, I find it nearly impossible to consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables through meals regardless of taste. It’s not an easy feat!

I have my own supplement regimen that I follow, as do many, but I also try to make sure that my nutrition intake comes from as much real food as possible.  Increasing the issue, is the fact that I’m not a big breakfast eater. More often than not, I’m up and at it with only a drink (shake, smoothie, or even just coffee) to carry me to a mid-morning snack.  This led to exploring the world of greens drinks/shakes/smoothies (whichever you choose) to supplement my meal intake. 

Taste

So, I’m going to keep it real with you.  None of these things, and I’ve tried several, are overly satisfying.  If someone says that they truly enjoy drinking them and just can’t wait to drink the next, I personally, would consider questioning their sanity.  But if you want to keep the adventure going and live life to the fullest, you have to fuel the machine. Know what I mean? Trying to make the healthy tasty, I finally came to these ingredients.  This is THE Greens Drink for me!! All of the ingredients blend perfectly into a 16 oz mason jar.

THE Greens Drink

Assisting the immune system and gut health, THE Greens Drink may help address your nutritional shortfalls and boost overall wellness.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup kale
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 2 kiwi
  • 1 lemon squeezed
  • 1 granny smith apple
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup pineapple
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp garlic
  • CBD isolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all fruits and vegetables. Pat dry.
  2. In measuring the leafy greens (kale and spinach) pack it in to maximize amount (just a firm press). Remove kale stalks.
  3. Peel the kiwi and apple. Slice/chop.
  4. Peel the ginger root and garlic. Mince. You can purchase minced ginger and garlic, if you choose.
  5. Add the fruit, leafy greens, ginger, garlic, and apple cider vinegar to the blender/food processor.
  6. Blend. The amount of time this takes ultimately depends on your equipment. High speed new equipment should get you there quick; but if you're using Momma's old beater blender that still works despite a few missing pieces, then you may be there for a bit. Also, you may need to give it the occasional stir (scraping sides) to ensure there are no clumpy particles at the end.
  7. You should end up with 16 oz (+/-).
  8. If you want bulk, just multiply the ingredients by the number of drinks you want. I'll make three or four jars for the week so I can slam one first thing in the morning and go on about my day.
  9. Keep the pineapple! If you choose to core a fresh pineapple, keep the remains for cool drinks for the kids. Or........show up to the weekend cookout/gathering in a Hawaiian shirt sipping out of an open pineapple to let everyone know good times are near.

CBD

In recent years there has been a huge movement in the CBD market with a wave of supporting legislature that followed (and continues to follow).  Having a number of possible benefits, I added this to my daily routine a couple of years ago.  For me, it’s made a huge difference, so I encourage people to try it when facing any issues that it is alleged to help.  I use a CBD isolate (THC Free) in drinks such as this.

If you opt to add this ingredient, there a few things that I think are of importance.  First, ensure the product is third party tested with a posted Certificate of Analyses.  If you are subject to drug testing, make sure you purchase a THC free product and that it is confirmed (see the prior sentence). Full Spectrum products (honestly my preference), by federal law, can contain trace amounts of THC up to 0.3% which could possibly result in a positive reading. Third, look at the label to check the concentration of CBD. Products vary and can range in milligrams per serving. I look for the highest concentration for the least amount of money, or best bang for your buck.

Assisting the immune system and gut health, THE Greens Drink may help address your nutritional shortfalls and support overall wellness.

As with a lot of things in life, I try to expand my experience beyond one product so I’ve tried plenty.  When UnCanna dropped, that’s where I stayed.  They’re Veteran owned, overly informative on the industry, and they cover my three important things above.

Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo

August 25, 2019 by Cody

Quick, easy, budget friendly, and filling, this 4-ingredient Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo will likely have you returning for seconds…….or thirds. And kids love it!

Quick, easy, budget friendly, and filling, this meal will likely have your returning for seconds…….or thirds. And, kids love it!!

Three Cheese Tortellini

My family loves pizza and pasta!  Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo is an easy one pan meal that helps break away from the typical pasta nights with fettuccine, spaghetti, linguine, etc. If your spread thin and short on time, using your favorite jar of sauce will have you a quick dinner in under 20 minutes.

What Sauce Goes with Three Cheese Tortellini?

There are two types of sauce that pair well with three cheese tortellini.  The first is a tomato based, red sauce.  For a delicious Three Cheese Tortellini using red sauce, click here.  The second type is alfredo sauce! That is what we’re using in this easy pasta recipe.   

Now, for a quick pasta dinner recipe, there’s nothing wrong with using store-bought sauce from a jar.  It’s hard to beat homemade sauce, though!

4-Ingredient Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo

This simple one pan Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo can be ready in under 20 minutes and you only need the following:

  • Three Cheese Tortellini
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Fresh chopped spinach
  • Garlic & Onion Macadamia Nuts

How to Make Homemade Alfredo Sauce

One of the best things about homemade sauce is that you can put your own spin on it and emphasize your personal taste preferences. Adding a little garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, or even red pepper for the spicy alfredo lovers, can make a huge difference.  So, while the recipe below doesn’t require homemade, I’ll give you a quick run down on how to whip up your own and only add a handful of minutes to your time in the kitchen.

Drop 1/3 cup of butter into a saucepan.  While the butter melts, add a teaspoon of minced garlic and black pepper to taste.  I highly recommend using medium grown black pepper, here.  Once the garlic and pepper become fragrant (roughly 15-30 seconds), add one cup of heavy cream and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.  Then, whisk in 1 cup of parmesan cheese until melted and well blended. 

Quick, easy, budget friendly, and filling, this Three Cheese Tortellini Alfredo will likely have you returning for seconds…….or thirds. And kids love it!

Tips for the Best Tortellini Alfredo

Add Chicken.  Turn this easy meal into Chicken Tortellini Alfredo by adding some chopped grilled chicken breasts or some pulled chicken from your Air Fryer Whole Chicken.  You can even use a rotisserie chicken from the store to keep it super simple.

Don’t Skip the Nuts. Personally, I appreciate the texture that the macadamia nuts bring to this dish.  Getting a little bit of flavorful crunch every now and then is a welcomed surprise. 

Top with Fresh Ingredients.  Sprinkle some fresh parmesan over the top of the pasta and garnish with some fresh chopped Italian herbs and Garlic & Herb Macadamia nuts.  I know, we already have cheese in the pasta covered with a creamy cheese sauce but the fresh parm over the top matters, trust me! The fresh herbs amp up the flavor and texture.
