If You’ve Never Had a Smoothie Before, Now Might be a Good Time to Start

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

If you’ve never had a smoothie before, now might be a good time to start. Smoothies can be just about anything you want them to be, from a slushy fruit beverage to a creamy milkshake-like thick vitamin-packed treat. Though the smoothie boom is often associated with the 1970s and 1980s, it’s a term that actually goes back to at least the 1940s, when cookbooks for the blender offered recipes for pineapple and banana smoothies. Some smoothies are healthier than others, but even the most basic smoothie is obviously better for you than canned drinks, not to mention more filling and satisfying, so you tend to consume less.

I love smoothies and I am always out there on the lookout for other new and exciting and healthy refreshments. I recently discovered Caffe D’Vita’s Smoothie mixes. I’m excited about these Smoothie mixes because they are made with a combination of a great creamer, premium ingredients, and unique fruit flavors that produces an outstanding smoothie. Go ahead make a smoothie with Caffe D’Vita’s Smoothie mix or add your favorite fruits and even some protein powder to one of Caffe D’Vita’s base smoothie mixes. You’ll soon discover just how versatile Caffe D’Vita’s Fruit Cream Smoothie mix can be.

Caffe D’Vita’s Fruit Cream Smoothies are low in fat, have no hydrogenated oils, no trans fat, and are gluten free. The Caffe D’Vita brand is associated with a “healthy, active lifestyle” but I just love smoothies for the taste.

Caffe D’Vita: Smoothies are for Marathons

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

In the last three years I’ve become a marathoner and I’m looking to run the race of my life soon. If you think smoothies are delicious and you like to workout strenuously, like I do, then keep reading.

I realize that smoothies might not be ideal in January where you live. But I live in Orlando, Florida where the weather is always perfect so it is completely acceptable for me to drink smoothies all year around. My suggestion to you is to pretend like you live in Orlando and end your workouts with a smoothie no matter what it is like outside.

I have been into smoothies for some time now. For a summer in college I worked at a place that made smoothies and I have likened myself an expert ever since. Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to replenish your body after a hard workout or long run.

My goal when I make a smoothie is to put back as much energy into my body as I can to replace those that I just used during my exercise.

These days I may add: Frozen Black Berries, Frozen Mango Chunks, fresh Kiwis, fresh Banana, some 100% Pomegranate Juice, protein powder, or a handful of slivered almonds. But all smoothies should begin with Caffe D’Vita’s Vanilla Base (link to website) A good rule of thumb is that I tend to follow is that a smoothie should have a variety of colors before it is blended

Using either cubed or crushed ice with a traditional blender works very well, although I like my smoothies thick but am too impatient to consume with a spoon..

Hopefully you found this helpful. For the most part though, all it takes are some good Caffe D’Vita powdered mix ingredients and a blender.

Sugar-Free Eggnog

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

My grandfather is a twinkle-eyed twelve year-old during the holidays. I say this with more love and respect than you can imagine, of course, but facts are facts. He answers the phone with a “Gobble-Gobble” on Thanksgiving, scheming with the aim at shocking/scaring my Aunt Stacy one way or another. One time, a couple of years ago, he got up from the table and snuck out of the house. Minutes later, he returned with a clean-shaven face (something he hasn’t sported since his twenties). Stacy nearly fell out of her chair.

His enigmatic, sprite-like sense of humor has only become wonkier with age, and when you mix a little brandy into the equation, he is positively relentless. He orders “sky-juice” at restaurants in lieu of water and when relatives call bidding tidings of great joy, he tells my grandmother that, if it’s his girlfriend, he is not home.

Come Christmas time, he nearly dances a jig when eggnog hits the stores. To my grandmother’s chagrin, he bustles about stocking their refrigerator with as many cartons of eggnog as he can possibly fit. The twinkle in his eye grows brighter and the pranks on Stacy become more frequent.

The discovery of diabetes however, has understandably hindered this excitement. But fortunately, I recently found out that you can now make a traditional or “cooked” version of his favorite holiday treat, eggnog by using Caffe D’Vita’s Sugar-Free (containing Splenda) French Vanilla Cappuccino mix. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients for Eggnog: 4 separated egg yolks 4 separated egg whites 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita’s Sugar-Free French Vanilla mix 3 ounces of bourbon 1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation:

In a bowl gradually add the 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita’s Sugar-Free French Vanilla mix and egg yolks and continue to beat the mixture until it is completely dissolved. Add bourbon and nutmeg and stir. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. In a bowl beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita’s Sugar-Free French Vanilla mix. Continue to beat the mixture until it is completely dissolved. Set it aside.

In a medium saucepan, over high heat, combine the egg and Vanilla mixture. Warm everything in the pot and cook until the mixture reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bourbon. Pour everything into a medium mixing bowl.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg whites into the chilled mixture. For a final touch, serve the eggnog with a cinnamon stick or a sprig of mint. Chill everything and serve.

Pumpkin Spice Smoothie and Cappuccino

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

I love autumn. I love the crisp air and the cozy nights by the fire—I love the excitement of the holidays and the way we immediately feel closer to our loved ones. There’s just something so intimate about holiday traditions and I take comfort in knowing that everyone else feels the same way.

Our senses pick up on so many wonderful sensations during the holiday season. We feel the cold air coming in, we see the leaves changing, we hear the sounds of crunching leaves. And then there are the smells and tastes!

Growing up, I remember two very distinct scents that would trigger that sense of comfort and the exciting “the holidays are here” feeling: the cinnamon broomstick my mother always hung on the front door…and the scent of pumpkin pie lingering throughout the house.

The thing I’ve always liked about pumpkins (other than the fact, of course, that they are delicious) is that they are the one food that really offers a transition between holidays. We carve them up in October and then, in November, we bake them into pies and puddings—breads and muffins.

Pumpkins are so incorporated into our fall and winter festivities that even the scent of cooked pumpkin stirs within us a sense of togetherness and comfort. In this season, we coax the sweet scent and flavor of pumpkin for use in every possible way, from pies and muffins to candles and even lotions and soaps. But isn’t that what’s great about ‘pumpkin’!

This holiday, enjoy that much-coveted pumpkin fix with Caffe D’Vita’s traditional Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino mix. Creamy and delicious, this all-natural mix is excellent when served hot for the holidays and even goes well in a smoothie year-round.

Just place two teaspoons of Caffe D’Vita’s premium Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino mix into a 6-oz cup and add 5-oz of hot water. Stir thoroughly and top it with whipped cream lightly dusted with pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

If you want to make a Pumpkin Spice Smoothie, blend 3-oz of water or milk, 3 large ice cubes and 3 teaspoons of Caffe D’Vita’s premium Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino mix into a blender. Blend it until it’s smooth and pour it into a frosty glass. Top it with whipped cream and dust it with pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

Caffe D’Vita’s products have a long shelf life, are kosher, are quick to make, and can be made hot or cold and with either a blender or granita machine. The premium ingredients are guaranteed to produce accurate serving results every time. Our unique customer service and promotional support is backed by over 37 years of experience in the premium beverage industry.

Caffe D’Vita – Irish Creamtini

/in , , , , , , /by

When done right, a chilled martini can be the perfect thing at the end of a long day. One particularly favorable quality of a martini is that the variations on this drink seem to know no end or boundary.

While experimenting with various ways to create the perfect martini—try adding Caffe D’Vita’s Irish Cream powdered 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. Twist 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.
