Oh, I love cinnamon. The real one, of course, not its cousin. Lately, I’ve been adding it to my juices. Cinnamon has got to be my number one favorite spice. It’s just something about cinnamon that makes me fall in love with it! I ran out of lemons and limes to add in my juices (I always add for taste and to for a natural preservative) so instead, I added cinnamon to preserve my juices! Cinnamon serves as a great, all natural preservative! So whenever you don’t have lemons or limes on hand to preserve your juices, (or anything, really) just add cinnamon if you have!
I love the way cinnamon tastes in the juice. It gives it that sweetness, too!

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw that I had tweeted about this awesome WOW juice that I drank (recipe below). I am just telling you, if you’re a cinnamon lover (like I am) I will assure you that you will LOVE this juice recipe. I am back to juicing now, after a couple of months (or more?) of smoothies. I am happy to be back to my lovely juices; I adore them much! Juicing makes me and my cells happy, so hey – I gotta do what’s right. The 3 juice recipes that I am sharing today are pretty much similar to my other favorite juice recipe – Orange Radiant Soulshine Juice! So yummy! Give it a try! Let me know how you like it, please!
Mmm… Pure heaven {in a glass}! <3
Today, I am sharing with you 3 recipes; 3 juice recipes and 1
ice cream recipe. So 4 recipes total — in one post! I am sharing 1 dessert recipe with you today! ICE CREAM! The ice cream recipe I am sharing with you guys today an ice cream that I made last week. I’ve been having ice creams recently for desserts with chocolate sauce (oh, can someone say heaven?!) and I’ve really been enjoying them. Personally, I prefer my ice creams with chocolate sauce on top. It just tastes better and it makes the ice cream more enjoyable and divine! I don’t know about you, but I can’t live without my chocolate. <3 Me and chocolate will be forever and always in love! Okay, back to the ice cream recipe, shall we?

My newest ice cream combination that I’ve been making recently is pineapple banana ice cream. I try to switch up my ice cream flavors a bit, and I’ve been wanting to try pineapple ice cream for a while now. I finally tried it last week, and it was delicious! Although the ice cream didn’t come out as ‘ice cream’ (my bananas weren’t as ‘frozen’. *sad face* they were only frozen for 6-7 hours – not enough time. that’s why i say 24 hours of freezing your fruit before you make it into ice cream!) but overall, it was enjoyable and scoop-able! Oh well. I will have to make it again and the next time I do, I will add my famous chocolate sauce on top as a great addition! YUM! <3 But currently, this is my favorite ice cream recipe.

Recipe 1- Sweet Cinnamon Carrot Pineapple Kiwi Juice:
happily serves 2 (keep in mind: you can always add more or less of the ingredients listed below. these were my measurements. for everyone, it will vary.)
6 organic carrots, washed
4 pineapple slices
6 kiwis, peeled with ends removed
5 mangerines (or tangerines), peeled
1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, but recommended!)
1/4 cup almond milk (optional)
Wash, cut and peel as needed. Juice the carrots, pineapple, kiwis, and mangerines in your juicer. Add in the cinnamon once you have juiced everything. Be sure to mix the juice around in a glass to incorporate all the ingredients together. Pour into your fave glass, and sip away the goodness! Enjoy!
Recipe 2- WOW Cinnamon Carrot Orange Sweet Juice:
serves 2-3
6 organic carrots, washed
3 stalks of organic celery, washed
heaping handfuls of organic lettuce, washed VERY good!
5 pineapple slices
4 kiwis, peeled
a bit of almond milk (1/4? optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Wash, cut and peel as needed. Juice all the ingredients starting with the greens first, then juice your sweets last. Add in the cinnamon once you have juiced everything. Be sure to mix the juice around in a glass to incorporate all the ingredients together. Pour into your fave glass, and sip away the goodness! Enjoy!
Recipe 3- Oh So Smooth Carrot Lime Pineapple Cinnamon Juice:
happily serves 1-2
6 organic carrots, washed
4 stalks of organic celery
1 pineapple
1 lime, squeezed to soften & peel
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a bit of almond milk (optional)
Wash your veggies, peel your lime and cut and slice your pineapple. Juice the veggies first, then your sweet source last. Add in the cinnamon once you’ve juiced everything. If you want to add in almond milk, pour it in now and be sure to mix the juices so the flavors can incorporate and the taste is even. Pour into glasses, mix and drink away! Enjoy this yumminess!
Look at this! The perfect ice cream scoop! Sorry for the blurry pic ><
last but not least…… *drum roll*
Recipe 4- Pineapple Banana Ice Cream:
happily serves 2-3 (you could eat this whole thing yourself, too. but again, sharing is caring!;)
4-6 frozen bananas, peeled
2 whole frozen pineapple slices
Firstly, peel and freeze yo bananas! Cut open your ripen pineapple, slice and freeze 2 pineapple slices. Freeze the bananas and pineapple for a day (24 hours and more is best to produce the best ice cream). Once frozen, take it out the freezer and let it sit out in room temperature for 1 minute. Make sure you don’t let it thaw too much, as the fruit will start to de-thaw and won’t be as frozen to make ice cream. A minute is fine. The reason I say to let it thaw before you blend it is because it’s the fruit is too frozen, and blending the ice cream will be a bit hard to mix. I usually don’t add any liquids in my ice creams; I prefer them thick. You’ll just need muscles, though. 😉
Place all ingredients in your blender and blend until creamy, smooth and no chunks of bits of fruit. Don’t run your blender on too long, as the ice cream will melt. I blend my ice cream in the blender for a minute – no longer. The ice cream should be thick, creamy and scoop-able. If you place your blender upside down, the ice cream should be solid and firm. Scoop your soft serve ice cream into glasses/bowls and garnish it with whatever you like. Enjoy! If you have any leftovers, place it in a bowl – covered and store in the freezer. Stir every 30-40 minutes, until solid.
Yum! I could eat all this yummy-goodness ice cream straight from the blender!! SO yummy!

for some reason I associate cinnamon with fall and winter. I love it, but don’t eat it as much during summer (although with the wheather we have been having in Belgium, it might as well be fall). but such a good idea to add it to juices, will have to give it a try when winter comes around! have a great weekend!
haha, I don’t blame you! Cinnamon does sound like a winter and fall spice. It’s known that cinnamon can keep you warm. But cinnamon is great for all seasons! You should definitely try adding cinnamon to your juices! It’s amazing! 😀
Be sure to shake your juice well so you don’t choke on the cinnamon pieces!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, too!
