 With people looking for healthier lighter alternatives to whipped cream, this is great recipe Whip It  recently developed and I wanted to share it with you  as an alternative topping to whipped cream.
needed:
·         1 L whip-it! ™ whipper
·         2 whip-it! ™ n20 chargers
·         700 gm of plain yogurt (greek style is recommended for best taste)
·         250 ml of whole milk or 2% milk
·         sweetener (optional)
·         flavoring  (optional)
directions:
·         blend all ingredients (this can be even done in a simple bowl and whisk) *make sure yogurt and milk are cold
·         pour into whipper
·         close and charge with (2) n20 chargers
·         shake and dispense!
For those with 500 ml whipper simply halve the quantities of all ingredients and use just 1 charger instead of 2
The yogurt is a great tasting, much lighter and healthier option as it comes out very foamy and smooth, and it’s a very unexpected yet pleasant variation on eating yogurt.Â
top anything you would top with whipped cream like waffles, cakes, cookies, ice cream, fruits, frappes, natural artisan sodas etc. also, this is even more versatile than whipped cream as it goes great with cereal, birchli, nuts, as a complement for Mediterranean and Indian foods etc!
*We have noticed that the yogurt topping is not a stiff as the whipped cream so it presents differently. It’s recommended to use less milk if you want a stiffer topping-but this will take some trial and error as too little milk will make the yogurt get stuck in the whipper and not dispense.

After dinner, Newts served us green juice!! Â Eversince that evening, I started drinking green juice every morning before I start the day. I have been thinking of what healthy food I can eat after my acid reflux attack and this is one of them

Newts introduced us again to something called the magic berry. Â You bite into the berry and cleanse your palette with it then spit it out and when you drink the green juice it will be sweet instead of bitter and sour!! It was really magic!! He gave me and Trina the rest of these to bring home!Â
And he even gave us the plant of the magic berry that he grows in his greenhouseÂ
And this is how my grocery cart looks like now every week when I buy the ingredients for my green juice!! Â
I am copying the Cohen dieters and I take Jacob crackers for snacks.  It’s always out of stock because people hoard these 🙂 So I hoarded some too 🙂Â
More healthy food in the cartÂ

Chef Javs ( my son ), always tells me about Chef Bruce because he watches his cooking show on TV. Â So I was ecstatic when I found out that Chef Bruce has a cookbook!

Oh my gosh! Nora Daza!!! Â Her cookbook was the first cookbook I ever used when I was a kid. Â Maybe around 10 years old I was baking and cooking and my favorite was her Lenguas de Gato in her first ever cookbook which I still have til now.
