Cherry Soft Serve and Hybrid Sweet Potatoes


Yesterday morning I whipped up another Cherry Soft Serve/Smoothie


Frozen Cherries, Banana, Almond Milk, and Ice




The finished swirled and layered result


With a fresh plump cherry on top 


But make sure you eat it quickly before it starts to melt!


Lunch was a slightly burnt Grilled Wrap


 Sauteed Spinach, Cottage Cheese, Chicken, and Red Onion


And like always, I put it in the George Foreman Grill, only this time I got distracted 
reading the horoscopes in yesterday's paper! ...hence the reason it got a little charred


Here's a new Sweet Potato/Yam we haven't seen on Snacking Squirrel yet


I found it at Red Barn Market, thinking it was 
a jumbo version of a Japanese Sweet Potato


But when I looked inside, it was orange! 


The ironic thing is that it tastes exactly like a hybrid of a

  10. Your parfait is very stunning - love the vibrant colour from the cherry soft serve. And as always I am amazed by the flakiness of those grilled tortilla wraps.

  12. Oh my gosh how'd you get to swirl?! That's beautiful! And looks soo good! One thing I have to say is that your wraps always look like something I want to eat (sans the meat lol). But seriously, they look so full of yummy bites. I love Japanese sweet potatoes... I wonder if maybe they mislabeled it? Or maybe it is a hybrid? Call in the experts! :p

    XOXO!

  14. Ahaha, I think it's too early in the morning for me to be reading blogs - I thought that first shot of the cherry softserve was a lung or a tongue or something!! I definitely need more caffeine. But I love how you swirled it; how did you do that?!

    And your eats are always so colorful, you seem to have a rainbow for a diet :)

  26. I am amazed that you can tell the difference between two types of sweet potatoes enough to be able to spot a hybrid! That is impressive!
