Dinner tonight was set to be a repeat of Monday’s, but I decided to give it a spin. While I relied on Asian flavors (sesame, sri racha) for my earlier meal, I went for Italian this time.
The pasta and veggies were prepared identically to Monday, but I took the toppings a different direction. Crowning Old Smoky is another clove of raw garlic, about 1.5 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, several dashes of oregano and basil, a healthy dose of crushed red pepper, and a few cranks of the black pepper mill. This was equally delicious to my earlier effort, though completely different.
Afterward, I had another smoothie:
It contained a handful of spinach, one frozen banana, 1/2-2/3 cup frozen peaches, two teaspoons of cocoa powder, one teaspoon of cinnamon, and about 1/4 cup of coconut milk creamer. I loved the addition of the final ingredient. I’m glad I thought to throw some in.
I enjoyed this little challenge enough that you can expect to see another post with a third variation tomorrow. Good night!

Wow, that smoothie seems tasty… I’m gonna try it anytime soon!
Lovin’ that smoothie recipe! And the color is gorgeous! I’m going to get some frozen peaches and try this tomorrow morning. I haven’t used the coconut milk creamer in a smoothie yet, but it’s delicious in my chai. Can’t wait to try your recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
