This protein packed smoothie has the perfect amount of sweetness ( not that sweet at all ) I try to stay away from sweets in the morning. The banana sweetens it naturally.

I received a bottle of Certified Organic Prairie Vodka for review, but was not compensated financially in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based solely on my experiences while recipe testing.
Summer days mean warm delicious days. Swimming pools, beaches and lakes. Blenders making frozen drinks. Craving frozen lemonade on these perfectly sunny hot days. A tub of frozen blueberries in the freezer and stepping it up with Certified Organic Prairie Vodka makes the perfect summer cocktail!
Sip this gorgeous drink slowly~ stay away from BRAINFREEZE!! I may have experienced something like that….
What you will need for this delicious cocktail: Frozen Blueberries, Frozen Concentrated Lemonade, sugar, Prairie Organic Vodka, Lemon for garnish. If using fresh blueberries, no worries: add ice.
Place all of the ingredients in the blender, pour into your favorite glass and serve. Garnish with a slice of lemon and umbrella! Happy Summer!
Prairie Organic Spirits offers 100% certified organic vodka, which is made from single vintage organic corn that gives Prairie Organic its award-winning flavor. Each bottle of Prairie Organic Spirits takes three years of meticulous work and provides an elevated cocktail experience that we can all raise a glass to. Their Motto is “Made with respect, from Seed to Glass”.
The fifth-generation of family distillers who run the Phillips Distilling Company have turned a new, green page with the recent release of Prairie Organic Vodka. This corn-based vodka is certified organic and kosher. All of the corn used in Prairie is grown by a co-op of 900 farmers in and around Benson, Minnesota where the vodka is produced.
From the corn to the stills to the bottling, Prairie is organic and has reduced the environmental impact of production significantly.
Making a frozen cocktail couldn’t be easier, just add all of your ingredients into a blender. If making a beverage kid friendly or alcohol free just leave out the vodka.

| St. Patrick’s Day Irish Coffee: The best Irish Coffee that I have ever had was when 19 of us went to Ireland, hubs family and I. We try to go to a different country ever other year and that year we went to Ireland. It was one of the best trips, not only because I had never been to Ireland before but because they are of Irish decent, plus, Ireland is majestically breath taking. We just love being together, between laughing and story telling and lots of singing, there is lots of drinking! One gorgeous day, as we were driving the cliffs of Ireland, around the bend, my son in law and I noticed a beautiful spot to stop for a coffee. This is what we ordered. It was a clear, crisp day overlooking the bright green cliffs, rams and sheep scattering about. As we were brought our Irish Coffee’s, the waiter said a Good Morning with a twinkle in his eye. The first sip brought me to the Irish roots that I wish I had. It was so delicious with a combo of strong coffee, a bit of whiskey and fresh whipped thick cream. I savored each sip, admiring the Rhododendrons and wild Rosemary growing about. I sat thinking, don’t lose this memory, 7 years later this memory strikes me whenever making an Irish Coffee. Because it is so simply delicious, a toast to you! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! |
