What We’re Reading This Week
Posted on May 14, 2011 by Naomi Piercey
Get some (ah-sigh-ee)
Want to blend a delicious boost of antioxidants into your next smoothie? Grab a Sambazon Açaí juice from your local grocery store, toss in a banana and some milk, and then drink to your health. Even better: head to Sambazon.com to enter to win a trip to the Amazon! Via Sambazon
Stick to It
Ready to revamp some of your old pencil cups? Grab some colored masking tape and start crafting! Failed elementary school art class? No worries. This fun tutorial is suited to all skill levels. Via How About Orange
Make it Rain
Afraid “booster” packets will ruin your smoothie? Try this blogger’s amped up “Purple Rain” blend with protein and chia. She promises: It doesn’t taste “healthy.” Whew. Via Love Veggies and Yoga
Mung Bean Bonanza
So you thought you’d starve before you ate anything with the word “mung” in it. But, to be honest, these things are good. And good for you. Really, try this mung bean ball recipe with grilled veggies. Also, ever wanted to make your own tahini sauce? Here’s your chance. Via Scandifoodie
DIY Popsicles
Are you a patient person who loves mixing kiwi with Grand Marnier? Yep, we knew it. This layered fruity popsicle recipe is just for you. Via Desserts for Breakfast
Super Gross
Scientists have made a skin crawling discovery. Bedbugs (the blood suckers responsible for thrown out mattresses and itchy red bites everywhere) can carry the staph “superbug” MRSA. Don’t panic yet- researchers say there isn’t proof they can transmit the disease to humans. Via TIME
Quick Trick
Want to eat less, but can’t help digging in when it’s in front of you? Try cutting up your food into smaller pieces. A study found that college-aged women who were given whole candies consumed around 60 calories more than those who were given candy cut in half. Via LA Times
Brunch is Served
Part of your Saturday morning to-do list: Upgrade your morning oatmeal to these delicious oatmeal buttermilk blueberry pancakes. Yummmm. Via NY Times
Cookie Monster
Step aside double stuff: the triple double Oreo is here. Via Kitchen Daily
