Category: Smoothies

Good Morning Babes! I hope your Monday was as productive as mine. Im currently sitting in my disaster of a bedroom trying to pack for this weeks lax tournament. (PS if any of you are from Long Island leave me fun places to check out in the comment section while we are there)

Today’s post is my Dad’s smoothie recipe. A lot of people don’t like kale in their smoothies, my dad being one, and spinach is a GREAT alternative. Spinach is high in Vitamins A and C and it contains folate, iron and magnesium. If you tried my Berry Blemish Blaster and didn’t like the kale, use your favorite leafy green instead. You can’t go wrong. Let’s get into today’s recipe…

Ingredients:

Two handfuls of organic spinach

• Push down into the blender glass; fills up ½ way

1 cup frozen organic blue berries

1 cup frozen mango chunks

3 packets of Truvia sweetener

Grapeseed oil – three count pour

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Almond Breeze (unsweetened vanilla)

– up to “fill line” on blender glass

Directions:

Put lid on Bullet blender glass.  Blend for about two minutes, making sure all the spinach has been incorporated into the smoothie (sometimes it sticks, if so, take blender cup off the Bullet and shake it to release the spinach; put back on to finish blending).

Easy and delicious. Im off to pack and get ready for work. If you have a favorite smoothie recipe send it to me! I will try it and you might just see it on the blog!

hey girl hayyyyyy.

I need to share with you my all time FAVORITE smoothie. I started drinking it about three-ish years ago and it is a staple in my life.

It brings me great pleasure to introduce you to the Berry Blemish Blaster.

This is my go-to drink. It is fresh, sweet and oh so good. (You know it is delicious when the three year old I babysit BEGS for it)

Lets get right into it, shall we?

Here is what you need:

1/2 cup blueberries

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup blackberries

A LARGE handful of kale

1 packet of Truvia

Water to taste

Throw all your ingredients in your NutriBullet or blender and turn it on baby!!!

Most days I use organic frozen berries, sometimes I use fresh ones. I hate strawberries in smoothies but add them for a daiquiri vibe. The best part about the BBB is you don’t taste the kale…at all. Tastes like berries but has a super food in it, sign me up.

So why do you need to add the BBB to your daily routine? Antioxidants.

Antioxidants can prevent and delay cell damage by fighting free radicals (the nasty bullies who beat up our cells). Free radicals enter the body when we eat foods with preservatives and it is in the air we breathe. So if you are living and breathing, you need antioxidants. I could write a novel on antioxidants… it deserves its own post.

Do me a favor…try my BBB and leave me a comment//tag me on insta//tweet me your thoughts.

Im dying to know what you think!

Green smoothies are very in right now and I have to be honest, I love it.

I have tried dozens of green smoothies, but my favorite has to be the one I make at home.

I took the basic ingredients from my FAVORITE juice company Suja. Their Green Supreme smoothie is what got me hooked on juicing.

 

Greens for a Queen

Here is what you need:

1 green apple

1 lemon

a LARGE handful of Kale

water

Chop up your apple, squeeze your lemon and throw it all in your blending devise (my heart belongs to the NutriBullet)

**Pro tip: make sure you cut your apple into even sized chunks… if they aren’t roughly the same size it won’t blend evenly. 

Here is the thing… I like mine to have the apple skin in it. It is definitely a lot thicker than Suja’s… but that is my personal preference. If it is too foamy for you use less apple and more water. Finding the consistency that works for you is key…. it’s a process people. I always drink mine in a blender bottle to shake up the pulp. I like having all that extra fiber to keep me feeling fuller longer.

Per usual, I need to know what you think. Are you loving Greens for a Queen? Send me your favorite at home green smoothie recipe to try, please and thank you!
