Peanut Butter Shake

I always get really excited about the possibilities of this recipe (I've tried different versions of it over the years) and, unfortunately, I'm always disappointed (sorry, Epicure). What I want is a creamy chocolate shake consistency with that banana base and the hint of peanut butter behind it all; what I get is banana milk with a strong peanut butter aftertaste and a faint chocolate smell. I still think it's got possibilities though so I'll keep you posted on the progress.

1 banana
2 c low-fat milk
1 c low-fat plain or vanilla yoghurt
2/3 c orange juice
2/3 c natural peanut butter
1 Tbsp VE Cocoa

lend it all until "smooth and frothy". Pour into glasses and serve immediately. This recipe is supposed to be for 6 servings but I think that splitting one banana between 6 people is ridiculous so I just called it 2 servings and took my lumps.

Mango Sweet-Tart

Meag whipped this up for breakfast out of our Eat It Fresh box. They included a couple of mangoes in there and we weren't entirely sure what to do with them straight off the hop. I know not everyone is a fan of mangoes (Erin) but, wow, try mixing them with raspberries. This recipe will serve two.,

1 1/2 cup Balkan style yogurt (left over from making tzatziki for tonight)
2 mashed mangoes (they were small)
1/3 cup graham crumbs
1 1/2 T milk (to thin)
1 t honey
1/2 cup frozen organic I've-never-tasted-anything-this-good raspberries
1 T chopped fresh mint (totally optional)

Mix as you see fit and, as you can see, garnish with some extra berries and mint leaves.
