Flavorful
Description

I'm a sucker for a good juice bar but rarely want to spend $10 on a drink I enjoy in fleeting fashion. So, I've been tinkering around at home, trying to replicate my favorite juice bar concoctions.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (generous) greek yogurt (i use 2%)
  • 1/2 cup (generous) almond milk
  • 1 large banana (or 1½ smaller ones), peeled
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • 2 teaspoons date syrup (i like date lady)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond butter
Directions
  1. Put everything into a blender and blend on medium-high speed until smooth. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.

Francis Lam s Chinese American Thanksgiving Meatballs

This dish isn’t traditional to anyone, but was inspired by my parents’ refusal to eat roast turkey, and the time they halted my Thanksgiving protest by bribing me with spaghetti and meatballs. It’s based on a classic Chinese dumpling filling, made instead into meatballs and poached in a gingery tomato sauce. The technique of mixing the meat until just tacky gives it that characteristic potsticker-filling bounciness.
