Here’s a recipe below.

1 cup organic milk
To taste organic agave (sweetener)
To taste organic vanilla
2 eggs organic egg yolks (optional)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
Optional Cacao nibs
1/2 tsp Cinnamon


Put ingredients in a bowl; whisk to mix, pour into ice cream maker, turn on for 25 minutes (to taste), and you’re done.

Remake the Starbucks “Unicorn Frappuccino”

Posted by Nerd on

Why?

This item seems to be the hottest item right now, and its “Limited Edition”

When I fall in love with something, I don’t want it to be limited edition. I’d like to be in control of my desires. If Unicorn, frap or smoothie is what I want Unicorn is what I will get.

Let’s start with:

The fact that the Starbuck’s Unicorn Frap is a limited edition cup of “sugar, milk, sugar, and more sugar.” I’m almost sure no one spends their money in hopes of consuming a colorful sugary drink with absolutely NO health benefits. The health department slammed Starbucks’s because in actuality, this colorful drink packs more sugar than a ½ a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. Feeding right into your crave of getting diabetes .. I’m kidding, but could you imagine? I personally think Krispy Kreme should be illegal. It’s like grade a cocaine, a true addicts delight.

According to Starbucks Press release, “The magical drink is “blended crème” with “mango syrup” and layered with a “blue sour drizzle, It’s then topped with whipped cream and a dusting of pink and blue powder. The drink starts as a purple color with swirls of blue, and changes color and flavor with each stir going from sweet and fruity to tangy and tart”

The healthy part of the Frap is actually the vibrant colors. Kudos to Starbuck’s on that. The blue comes from spirulina (naturally-blue algae) and the pink is a mixture of fruit sources like radish, sweet potatoes, cherry, and apple.

The not so healthy part of the Frap is everything else. The drink is a princes’s concoction of ice, crème Frappuccino syrup, milk, whipped crème, and mango syrup. They also include natural and artificial flavoring that cannot clearly be sourced lol. Down the rabbit hole of questionable ingredients and mysterious labels.

A caffeine-free Venti or Grande will put you over your daily limit according to the FDA which recommends no more than fifty grams of sugar added daily. Since there’s actually no coffee your getting a straight sugar rush which typically leads people to crash. To set the record straight, I would love to try this color and flavor-changing marvel out at Starbucks, It’s just not up to my personal health code. I would like to give proper credit to Starbucks for using vegetable-based colorings like spirulina and using radish and sweet potato!

Let’s look at some healthier substitutions; 

– Ice = Ice
– Milk = Almond or Soy milk
– Flavors = Fruit Blueberries for blue and Beets and berries for red
– Dairy Whip = Soy, Coconut or Rice Whip or vegan whipped cream
– Mango Syrup = DIY Mango Syrup or Real Mango or more fruit or lemon or lime juice
– Blue Drizzle = E3Live Blue Majik algae powder blended with Key Lime or Lemon almond yogurt
– Blue Powder = E3Live on top + some lemon zest if you’d like!

1/2 teaspoon dried chives

1/4 teaspoon dill

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

4 tablespoons butter

scant 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Cauliflower:

olive oil, for greasing the pan

1 medium head cauliflower (7 – 8 cups)

salt

 

Instructions:

 

Make the dip:

    1. In a medium bowl whisk all the dip ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate.

Make the hot sauce:

    1. Add the hot sauce and butter to a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Stir to melt the butter and cook 2 minutes.
    2. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan, garlic powder and black pepper.

Make the cauliflower:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large non-stick baking sheet generously with olive oil.
  2. Cut the head of cauliflower into florets – not too small – they will shrink as they cook.
  3. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and pour the hot sauce over it. Mix it well until the cauliflower are well coated.
  4. Spread them out on the baking sheet, drizzle any sauce left in the bowl over them. Sprinkle them lightly with salt.
  5. Bake 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and toss the cauliflower, scraping up any sauce that is laying on the bottom of the pan. Spread them out again.
  6. Bake 15 more minutes. Take them out of the oven and toss again. Check them with a fork or taste one to see how tender they are.
  7. If they’re not done put them back in the oven until they are – it shouldn’t take longer than another 10 minutes.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature with the ranch yogurt dip.

Their sweet, tangy taste also makes the ideal base for a variety of summer smoothies. The peach flavor can easily be lost when combined with different ingredients and certain recipes. if you want the peach to shine, stick to ingredients that enhance their floral quality.

2 teaspoons brown sugar
