The temperature is up to the high-80's here in sunny Florida! We thought it would be nice to take our first trip to the pool today, since we've seen all the spring-breakers in the neighborhood there all week long. Turns out, they're all snowbirds or crazy! That water was freezing! Micah and his cousin ended up playing next to the pool instead..
They had fun, but it wasn't the day I had anticipated! We ended up heading home after a short while and turning on the sprinklers. Micah loves sliding down the slide in the backyard into his little kiddie pool while the water sprays him in the face. So cute :)
After about an hour of this, I was burning up, since I wasn't getting the luxury of the sprinklers splashing me in the face. I decided it was time for a refreshing beverage.. Enter the Frosty White Chocolate and Strawberry Smoothie. Now let me preface this by telling you that I recently downloaded the latest Sneaky Chef book onto my Kindle. I am a die-hard Sneaky Chef-follower. I LOVE enriching my child's favorite snacks with extra nutrients! He is a great eater, and loves his veggies, but why not make desserts a nutritional boost as well! So anyway, I did a search for frozen strawberries, since I have about a million in my freezer right now, frozen after getting them fresh from these roadside stands all over Plant City (Strawberry Capital!) For $6 for a flat, I've been stocking up! Anyway, my search led me to the Strawberry Short Shake, which uses cottage cheese to bump up the protein amount! Here is my slight deviation, adding in a packet of Dove Chocolate Discoveries Frosty White Chocolate Smoothie mix to take this to the next level. It was amazing! My husband, Matt, was trying to lick the inside of his glass so he didn't waste any :)
