Creating in the Kitchen

Often I come across links to health tips and recipes on Facebook, and recently I tried a few that were pretty easy to make.

Coconut Avocado Ice Cream - I substituted the cashews for walnuts and I thought it came out pretty good. It can be a thick shake, or frozen. The first time it froze more icy than creamy, but I just made it again (using a paper carton this time), so we'll see. (Update on second batch: Still very icy texture when frozen.)

Protein Bites -  I love peanut butter, and already ate most of them. I couldn't get the oats to stick as well on top, probably because I used crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.  This is a keeper. I am making these again.

I like soup but it's too hot here to cook soup. A few days ago I did a search for cold soups and tried this one, Spinach and Avocado Soup. It is different, I don't have Tabasco which the recipe calls for, so mine could use a little more zing. I doubt I will try this one again, but the color is pretty.
