Super healthy delicious smoothies

Here in our household we LOVE smoothies... We have them at breakfast and oftentimes we have them as a snack.  And lately my little stinker is getting pickier and pickier about his veggies....sooooooo this is a great way to sneak in all his least fave veggies to ensure he is getting the proper nutrients. :)
Typically I make mine in the morning and take it to work with me. We use a Ninja master prep pro www.ninjakitchen.com and we have definitely gotten our use out of the blender!
We use it in soooooo many ways. But today will share with you two of my favorite smoothie recipes. Here goes.

Suspiciously healthy smoothie
Take your large blender and use these ingredients. I prefer placing them in in this order

  • 1cup peach Dixie juice from concentrate from trader joes
  • 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Two handfuls of organic spinach
  • Two small handfuls organic broccoli
  • Chopped organic cucumber ( approximately 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup chopped apple
  • 1 avocado
  • 1cup frozen fruit ( I alternate or mix up between pineapple, mango and or berries)
Blend away my friend. Blend until super smooth. If its too thick add more water.
Then enjoy. 

Reese's cup smoothie
This is incredibly healthy yet sooooo good for you, plus it's filled with tons of fiber to keep you full for hours.

Start out the evening before and place 1/2 cup of rolled oats in a bowl and cover with almond milk. Then cover and refrigerate.
In the morning pull out your blender and add these ingredients.

  • Soaked oats
  • Banana
  • Heaping spoonful of peanut butter
  • Add almond milk to desired consistency
Blend and enjoy.

There you have it. You can thank me later..I know your body will. ;)

About Me

I'm just an ordinary small town girl from Indiana with extraordinary dreams. In 2005, against my parents will, I moved to Atlanta Georgia to continue my career as a hairdresser. My belief has always been..." why take the steps into the pool when you could do a cannonball!!" I've always been fearless, my daddy raised me incredibly independent and in my eyes I can do ANYTHING!!! For years I've lived solely by this motto. As a Redken Artist I traveled the country doing hair and educating others (a true passion and forever dream of mine). And in 2010 my life got turned upside down by God, my Creator, the One who loves me, and I was humbled. And that's when life TRULY began. I found love, I found peace and more importantly I found the JOY I had been searching for my whole life. I was soon led to an unbelievable man. A man with deep spirit, a loving heart, and strength of an ox!! Quite honestly, a man that could handle my strong willed nature!! And there I found more love and then our first chid! This blog is a home to share my journey on finding even deeper joy, more constant peace and the fullness of love. And to help you discover the truth to your happiness, balance, and peace.
Cheers:)
