Smoothies!

Smoothie King has been my go-to smoothie shop since well, smoothies became a thing. They have 3 on their menu that are gf but at $4+ a pop, I started thinking I should make them at home. I've been trying out all different kinds and I think I've finally landed on a couple of combinations that I like.

I use the same base for pretty much all of them: plain greek yogurt and a banana. From there it's whatever I have on hand, for the most part. I've been doing fresh strawberries because they are SO GOOD right now but today I threw frozen blueberries in instead. Some oj, agave, and a couple of ice cubes and I ended up with blended perfection.

One lesson I learned last week though: be careful about your frozen fruit/ice cube ratio. You could end up with sorbet.

Arepas!

I can barely pronounce it but dear lord, I love it. I went to check out the Inman Food Park tonight and having done my research, knew that the Wow Food Truck had gluten free offerings. I've never had- or even heard of -an arepa before today. It's basically just a corn cake that acts like bread. I tried the pork arepa and looking back, I'm wondering why I only had one! I had a bite of my friend's chicken but it was a little spicy for me.

I can already tell that this is going to be my new obsession. Especially since Victory has not had gf bread in over a month. If only the food truck was parked in my driveway.

WOW!
