Avocado Spinach Smoothie= key lime pie shake

 I love avocados, I love spinach… so when I came across some avocado shake recipes I decided to try out some of my favorite flavors all together. Here is how it went. Enjoy!

You will need:

one ripe avocado
a handful or two of baby spinach
3/4 cup coconut milk (I used the vanilla one)
1 tablespoon of sweetned condensed milk… but you could use any sweetner or honey!
the juice of one key lime or lime
3-4 ice cubes

then start blending!

blended

If you live in a warm climate (like us at Sonoran Chic) you can walk out into your yard and get the lime and spinach fresh! But store bought is just as good;)

Now as most foo chic experiments go, we decided to expand on delicious! Though the above recipe is muy delicioso, I wondered what it would be like with some honey greek yogurt added in… So I blended in about a 1/4-1/2 cup and then put a dollop ontop just for some flare;) It was sooo good! Enjoy!

Fall fashion around the corner

Here we are in August already… Fall fashion is beginning to hit the stores. It is a sad time in the Sonoran desert though… Because we cannot take part in it! All I want to do is dress up in a sweater with a cute blazer over it… But I would die of heat stroke! It is still over 100degrees here! While a large part of the world is putting away their summer clothes and delighting in the fun fall fashion… We are still in bikini weather.

I would love to see some guys in corduroy and girls in wool skirts but it just ain’t gonna happen here until probably Nov or Dec… If that! To any fashion designer… Please remember us in the Sonoran desert and give us some fall fashion-feel without the layers of warmth. I will do my best to try to find some good  Fall inspiration and post them on our pinterest site http://pinterest.com/sonoranchic/fashion/

Until next time… Stay cool!
