Green Smoothie Day

Did you know Green Smoothies can pack a powerful punch in keeping you healthy?

  • High in Antioxidants

  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Chlorophyll
  • Essential Fatty Acids
  • Aid in digestion
  • Low in calories
Green Smoothie for today                                                
Green Smoothie #1
1 banana
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 spinach greens

Smoothies are a fast nutritious meal.  It packs a lot of beneficial vitamins and minerals which keeps you healthy and boost your immune system.  I find I am satisfied and have more energy when I can take the 5 minutes to make a smoothie.  This is the perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner for the busy person who tends to skip or forget meals.  I am on the run today, again, with end of year parties and celebrations at the kids school.  This is my morning meal and I am off!  Have a wonderful day and don't forget to feed your body beneficial foods and skip the junk!

      You don't taste the spinach, but you could just as easily use salad lettuce. I taste the fruits. The key to green Smoothies is keeping the ingredients to 4-5 items. That way its not sensory overload but you taste the two fruits.

    I recently started adding large handfuls of spinach to our smoothies, and it's been delicious! we can't taste the spinach and the kids still love the flavor and wahoo,I'm so sneaky getting them to actually eat their veggies!

    We love almond milk too! SO delicious and great for a smoothie taste! We also use SILK Fruit and Protein.
