It was a smoothie kind of day.
But not just any old smoothie kind of day.
Once afternoon snack time rolled around, I made it into afternoon snack happy hour.
Greek yogurt + ice + honey drizzle + cocoa powder + bananas + ….Baileys.
Hopefully I won’t be passed out on the couch by the time Mr. How Sweet gets home.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

Hey Jessica – the PA state stores are having a clearance sale this week and a couple of the Baily’s flavors were on sale! Flavored vodkas, mojitos, all kinds of good stuff for summer. We were like kids in a candy store (ok, really adults in a liquor store!)

Umm i’d like to come over please.now

Mmmmm – you should try Bailey’s spiked frosting on a chocolate cake. Do it… Or Pinnacle whipped cream vodka in hot chocolate. It got me through a verrrry cold day of tailgating a few months ago.

*laughs and laughs* At the first photo, I thought “this looks exactly like the smoothie I made yesterday!” Then I kept reading and, phwoar. They couldn’t have been more different :P

Oh my gosh Bailey’s in a smoothie! I’ve had it in hot chocolate, in coffee, and on top of my ice cream but I’ve never had anything like this. Mmmm I think I know what I’m making this weekend!
Reply
Love this! Is it acceptable for me to have this as my morning smoothie? On the way to work? :-)
Reply
Hehe :-) That is how I want to spend my day!!!
Reply
Where were you when I needed a smoothie this afternoon.
Reply
Seriously, I love the stuff you come up with!! This looks sooooo good!

It’s official.
I heart you.
(even though you keep posting amazing cake batter recipes and I can’t find yellow cake batter here in Scotland!)
Reply
I love Bailey’s! This looks so refreshing and perfect after a long day!
Reply
I am definitely bookmarking this one. Think I can put a bit of Bailey’s into the kids’ smoothies to liven things up around here? (JUST KIDDING!!!)
Reply
That looks scrumptious! Were you still awake when Mr. How Sweet got home?
Reply
Mmmm, Bailey’s is the best. I’ve never thought to put it in a smoothie though! I’ve gotta do that!
Reply
Oh girl.. you make me jealous!! Just one more month and I can have one of those. :)
Reply
Love that you drink during the day!

And just when I was trying to convince myself smoothies are healthy! This one sounds a little more fun than the one I’m blending with strawberries, blueberries, kale, spinach and protein pwdr. Yours sounds much more yummy!
