[Sunday Smoothies&Drinks] A.A.H - AlmonndMilk, Apples &...Horlicks?

8/18/2013 11:30:00 AM

HELLO!!

Alright, so here is an interesting smoothie I made for my Grandmother this afternoon. It’s main ingredients are APPLES, ALMOND MILK AND HORLICKS!

What’s Horlicks?

For those of you who don’t know what Horlicks is, I shall give you the quick rundown on it:

Horlicks is a malted milk powder.

Nutrition info for Horlicks with milk: 2 tablespoon horlicks + 200ml skim milk

Energy: 189 calories
Protein: 9.6 g
Carbs: 27 g
Fat: 4.3 g

(info. via http://www.healthguru.sg/learn-about-food/nutrition-info-calories-in-horlicks-malted-milk/)

It contained malted barely and wheat flour which is then mashed together in hot water to create sugars converted from starch. Dairy is then added. The water then evaporates in order to form a syrup.

This is dried to form a cake.

This cake is milled into the finished powder. This is then fortified with vitamins and minerals.

It is said to help promote sleep, however that isn’t exactly a certainty. It doesn’t always help me sleep. But it used to when I was a younger little girl.

This and Ovaltine are almost ALWAYS in a jamaican household, by the way. *bigupbigup*

ANYWAY, so thats a little bit about Horlicks. I am sure you can find it in your local grocery store.

ON TO THE DRINK!

INGREDIENTS:

Horlicks

2 APPLES

Almond milk ( Or your preferred milk)

Strawberry Syrup (optional)

EXTRA & OPTIONAL

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Vanilla

Chia, Flax & Hemp Seeds

PREPARATION!

Cut up your apples.

Throw them in the Magic Bullet or Blender or any other blending thing you have…

Add 3 tablespoons of Horlicks.

Add your Milk to your preferred flow of smoothie. (less if you like it THICK and more if you like it Thinner)

Add the optional ingredients to your preferred taste.

I added 1 teaspoon of condensed milk

2 table spoons of chia & flax seeds (together not seperately)

about a splash of vanilla or 1/8 teaspoons

and

my grandma got about 2 or 2 and a half table spoons of the Syrup.

ENJOY!

[Coming Soon] OOTD & Mini Twist-Out Experiment + Shea Moisture Update

8/17/2013 04:48:00 PM

Decided to try and do my first OOTD and update you on how I am getting along with Shea Moisture..

A tutorial will be coming soon on how I did my mini twists and a SECRET I used on the bag of my head to not only (a) make it appear like I have a haircut but to also (b) enhance my curl pattern so that I didn't have to even twist it to begin with! On 4b - 4c hair! Well, I will admit that my back is more of a 3c-4a situation...but either way... IT SHALL BE COMING SOON!

[VIDEO] Turorial . TRIED-AF HAIR STYLE

8/13/2013 06:25:00 PM

So, there are certainly days where I feel like - I am WAY too tired and have no energy to do any styles that I want. Also, at the length my hair is at - it is sometimes difficult to just do a quick hair prep. With medium-short 4b/4c/ hair - it isn't as easy as a simple couple of braids. Especially as a student, it's as if time is your enemy and your energy is going to SO MANY things already...

So sometimes I just want to do something easy and quick. I love Headwraps and Scarves for this reason. You can completely hide your head all the while looking great! However, sometimes I get bored of just a head wrap and still want my hair to be a start as well - even if I didn't give it the time of day... whoops.

So The video coming up will be a simple video of what I do when I don't have time to prep MY HAIR. Some naturals have the length to whip it into place with a few bobby pins and some hairbands. But not moi.

The upcoming tutorial will be quick and easy and just a show and tell type thing.

From start to finish.

I started with an old and shriveled up Bantu Knot-Out it was on its 4th day or something.. Then parted the front so that I could put the rest in an old stocking cap I made when I was younger in my permed days...Have not put that on my head in FOREVER! Anyway... So I spritzed some of my Conditioner and Water concoction onto my hair and fingercombed.

Then I used HAIRepair by ORS on my ends to keep them smooth and to prevent breakage. After I used the Curl Enhancing Smoothie by Shea Moisture and applied a semi-generous amount on each section of hair then proceeded to braid. I then went to bed with 5 braids in the front of my head while the back was a complete WTF.

In the morning I used ORS Olive Oil Sheen Spray on my braids and then took them out. I simply tied a scarf around the back end of my head. I feel like it looks cute and pin-up ish.
