Carrots + Coconut

This stuff is like crack. Seriously.
Lately I have been totally addicted to Beverly Hills Juice Club’s Coconut Carrot juice, so I decided to experiment and make my own…
First I threw a bunch of organic carrots into the juicer.
Then I opened up a Thai Young Coconut, poured the water into a container for later and scooped out the “meat”.
Put the juice and the coconut into the blender…
Et Voilà! Carrot Coconut amazingness. Mine was a bit creamier than the one at BHJC, and I must say, I think I enjoyed it even more.
Victory.
Rainy Day Baking
March 18, 2012 Leave a comment
As I’ve stated before, nothing gets me in the kitchen faster than a cold, rainy day. Although I always love baking, I especially enjoy it when the weather is dark and grey (which doesn’t happen very often in L A!).
This weekend’s rain + needing a little house warming gift for my friend brought me into the kitchen to experiment with one of my favorite recipes: crack cookies.
I wish I could tell you how I did this batch, but to be honest, I basically eyeballed the whole thing. I had an unfortunate event last week that involved my measuring spoons and my garburator (apparently a Canadian-ism- shout out!), which left me to my own devices. That being said, I loosely based these on crack cookies but didn’t use measurements and also added in walnuts, GF oats, and shredded coconut- basically a whole meal in a cookie.
For some guesstimate baking, these turned out pretty damn good!
Homemade Coconut Yogurt and Raspberrry Smoothie

Coconut Yogurt: blend the meat of young coconuts with some powdered probiotics then let sit and “culture” on the counter for a day.
Once you have your yogurt you can add it to any smoothie- I made mine with raspberries and almond milk. Yum.
