Two Minute Smoothie

/in , /by

Smoothies are one of our favorite treats to whip up. We like it when we can put a smoothie together in two minutes max. That way, we can get a healthy-snack fix without an ounce of stress.

This summer, we are hoping to beat the heat while staying nourished with quick, satisfying recipes just like this. Sound good to you, too?

This delicious smoothie is like the best version of your favorite grapefruit juice made better. The best part is that is takes just a minute or two to make!

This Pretty in Pink Grapefruit Smoothie will leave you feeling fabulous. Grab this frosty grapefruit-infused sip on a sunny afternoon and you’ll find yourself in a zing-y pink paradise. Give this recipe a try.

This smoothie has it all. It has strawberries, grapefruit juice, fiber, antioxidants and fun. It contains loads of vitamin C and potassium, plenty of fresh fruit nutrients. If you love zesty-sweet flavors, you’ll love this sip.

We use a blend of ruby red (pink) and white flesh grapefruit juice for this smoothie. We find white grapefruits are a tad less zesty and refreshingly sweet. You can use a blend or just one variety, either way will be yummy.

And who wouldn’t love to go soaking in the sunshine while sipping on a sweet pink drink?

Kid Tip! For milder taste buds, sub half the grapefruit juice with fresh orange juice.

Pretty in Pink Grapefruit Smoothie
makes 2 servings

1  cup freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1/2 cup white grapefruit juice (or more pink)
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup ice
2 bananas (fresh or frozen)

Blend. Pour. Garnish with fresh fruit.

Sip. Smile!

Re-Discovered Chai Tea Latte

/in , , /by

Last week I met my husband for lunch and I didn’t know what to order, but I did know pretty quickly what I wanted something great to drink. I’m diet soda free (with the exception of the calorie-free sparkling flavored water I get every once in a while). I’ve been trying to find drink that I like that isn’t soda, and one that I’ve re-discovered is Chai Tea Lattes. I’ve fallen in love with Caffe D’Vita Chai Tea Latte mix and have one maybe once or twice a week. Read more

Get Your Green on For Saint Patrick’s Day

/in , /by

This Saint Patrick’s Day make the perfect martini—try adding Caffe D’Vita’s Irish Cream cappuccino mix to the blend. Smooth and delicious, our Irish Creamtini is just sweet enough to counteract the bitter flavor of the gin or vodka without overpowering it.

Try this recipe:
In a metal martini shaker, add:
2 oz of prepared Caffe D’Vita Irish Cream mix
2 oz of vodka
A splash of very chilled Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth
A lemon twist

Crushed Ice (a note about this: Cubed is fine, but Crushed will make it colder)
½ oz Vanilla syrup (this part is optional)

Take the glass out of the fridge (you should chill it for about 10 minutes before using it), and pour a small amount of the vermouth into it. Swirl the vermouth in the glass that the sides of the glass are coated. Discard the vermouth. Rim the glass with the lemon twist. Pour your gin or vodka into a shaker over lots of ice. Shake well until cold and pour into the martini glass. Squeeze the lemon, well, twist over the martini and balance it along the rim or just drop it in the glass the way you would in the case of a cosmo.

If you don’t like the lemon and cream flavor/texture combo, try rimming the glass with chocolate sauce and dusting a bit of cinnamon on top of the martini. You can use olives, but it’s not really recommended.

Chocolate is Good For You

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Chocolate is actually good for you!There’s a reason that chocolate inspires gotta-have-it cravings for so many of us, perhaps more than any other food: It’s good for you!

“It’s actually good for your heart and also good for your blood pressure,” says Valentine Yanchou Njike, MD, MPH, of the Yale Griffin Prevention Research Center, who has researched cocoa’s effect on blood vessel function. Researchers have also found that phytochemicals in cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, may improve blood vessel function, slow blood clotting, improve insulin resistance and have protective effects against cancer.  And even though the labels say chocolate contains saturated fat, it’s actually the kind of fat that has little effect on your cholesterol levels.

The bottom line is that you don’t have to beat yourself up for craving chocolate if you enjoy it in moderation.

Here are some tips for getting a guilt-free chocolate fix.
1. Choose wisely.
How about chocolate instead of potato chips? Yes, indeed! The darker the chocolate, the more phytochemicals it contains. Because you’re eating this for pleasure.

have what you like in moderation,
2. Get a liquid fix.
Hot cocoa is another way to enjoy chocolate. Make your own using one of Caffe D’Vita’s hot cocoa or sugar free hot cocoa.
3. Savor it.
If you really love chocolate, slow down, enjoy it and savor every sip.

Caffe D’Vita’s Premium hot cocoa is low in fat, has no hydrogenated oils, no Trans fat and it gluten free. Unlike other supermarket versions, these mixes are dreamy rich and packed with everything that’s right and good about one of the world’s favorite foods.

Smoothies – Not Just for Summer Anymore

/in , , , , , , , /by

Forgive me for this outrageously healthy sounding recipe, but it is a New Year, and therefore all New Year’s diet resolutions are still in force. I usually think of smoothies more as summertime desserts.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different class of smoothies. Vegetable-based, just a little sweet, make them well suited for the season. Sometimes I throw in a little orange juice or a squirt of lemon, but otherwise I stick to local, seasonal ingredients. If you’d like to try making your own, here are some other healthy ingredients you might want to consider adding:

Kale or spinach, carrot, apple beet (roasted or raw), orange (peeled fruit or juice)
sweet potato (roasted), parsley, pineapple, celery, ginger, carrot.
Try to purchase locally when possible, it’s fresher.

Green Apple Smoothie
1 serving
5 minutes preparation time
1 tablespoon of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Bean Classic Cream smoothie mix
1 apple (any local variety), quartered and cored
1 carrot
½ small bunch spinach (about 2 cups packed leaves and stems)
1 teaspoon honey
1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
3-4 ice cubes
¼ cup cold water

In a blender, combine Vanilla Bean Smoothie mix, apple, carrot, spinach, honey, cinnamon, (or whatever suites your fancy that day) with ice cubes and water. Puree until smooth. If needed, add more water to achieve desired consistency.

It’s Chai Tea Latte Time of Year

/in , , , , , , /by

This time of year I really get into Chai Tea Latte. It’s a great alternative to cappuccino and espresso and besides I just love the way it tastes.

CHAI, pronounced tshai, with a long “i” as in the word tie, is the actual word for TEA in many countries.

Chai tea is a rich and complex beverage that has been savored for centuries in many parts of the world. It has become extremely popular in the West as people are becoming exposed to it in coffee and tea houses and restaurants and elsewhere where beverages are sold.

In its most basic form, Chai is black tea that is brewed strong with a combination of spices and is diluted with milk and sugar. The spices vary usually consist of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, anise seedr and ginger. Chai tea is traditionally consumed hot and sweet. The sweetness is needed to bring out the full flavors of the spices.

Chai tea is wonderfully fragrant and soothing, but if you really want to kick back and indulge in a little “Arabian nights” I can only recommend: Chai Tea Latte or Chai Latte!

A Chai Latte is the spiced Chai tea mixed with milk that’s steamed. I love the soft foamy texture the steamed milk adds to the Chai.

For those times when you don’t want to make Chai tea from scratch, Caffe D’Vita Chai Tea Latte is a great alternative.

Hot Cocoa Always Gets us Into the Valentine’s Day Spirit

/in , , , , , , , /by

Valentine’s Day was first associated with romantic love by Chaucer in the Middle Ages when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”).Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.
Valentine’s Day is growing in popularity or the excuse it gives us all to express a little of our romantic side. And there’s no better way to say “I love you!” than through the time-honored gift of chocolate. Yes, cards are fine and so are flowers – but let’s face it, you can’t eat or drink them. The act of sharing a divine and chocolaty Caffe D’Vita Mocha Cappuccino with the one you love is surely part and parcel of the day’s enjoyment.

Choose any or all six of our chocolate favorites. Sip a cup of White Chocolate Cappuccino, Chocolate Chai, Hot Cocoa, Sugar Free Hot Cocoa, Cocoa Freeze Smoothie, or White Chocolate Raspberry Cappuccino, each one excites the imagination.

So let’s think chocolate this Valentine’s Day and you never know where it all might lead! Certainly, the golden age of romance is alive and well in the range of Valentine’s Day offerings from Caffe D’Vita.

Our chocolate selection is always correct for Valentine’s Day and is perfect for all who are hopelessly head over heels in love. Customer Service and Premium Ingredients remain our greatest priorities as we continue to develop new and exciting products.
