Delicious Fruit Shakes

May 21, 2013 by 2 Comments

Fruit ShakesThis week I made some tasty fruit shakes.  I’m calling them that because I bought a malt/shake metal mixing cup.  I love this thing!

So simple to make a healthy afternoon snack with just an immersion blender and shake cup.  I’m posting them all on Instagram too. If you aren’t following me there yet, stop on by.

And I have other healthy smoothies posted on the blog like a Heavenly Berry Smoothie, Get Well Green Smoothie, Blueberry Green Smoothie and more.

I LOVE smoothies if you couldn’t tell!  So please share any links to smoothie recipes you might have on your blog.

Heavenly Berry Smoothie

March 5, 2013 by 8 Comments

Healthy SmoothieI love making smoothies for breakfast! Who am I kidding, I love smoothies ANY time of day.

Here are more varieties of healthy smoothies that I have made over the years since starting this blog.  I even came across pictures of me with my first green smoothie.  Too fun!

Last week I made this Heavenly Berry Smoothie (name idea came from the pretty cup my mom gave to me for Christmas).  It has a sweet bible verse on it with beautiful butterflies.

Get Well Green Smoothie Recipe

January 29, 2013 by 7 Comments

Get Well Green Smoothie RecipeI made a great green smoothie yesterday.  I have been under the weather and this was something yummy to put in my body.  This Get Well smoothie turned out a beautiful green color as you see here.

I love making green smooothies and trying out different combinations. Here are some of my different healthy smoothie concoctions.  I have been using the Magic Bullet blender for years.  It makes my smoothie process so so simple and easy to clean up too.

We have been juicing as well and I have a plan to post about that as well.  We are still playing around with the new juicer and trying different fruits and veggies.  It’s been quite the experience.

Smoothie Fail

August 21, 2012 by 3 Comments

This morning was a smoothie fail.  I mixed up some chocolate hemp protein powder with almond milk, peanut butter and strawberries and it was awful. Not only was the taste not good, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mix/blend this protein powder so the little chalky clumps go away.

I have tried everything:  the Blender Bottle cup, the Magic Bullet blender/mixer and even just stirring with a spoon.  I even changed up the order I put the milk and powder in together.  No luck whatsoever.  I will not be getting this protein powder again.

I Love Homemade Fruit Smoothies

April 5, 2012 by 5 Comments

I have had some awesome blog worthy smoothies this week so wanted to share them with you.  I use the Magic Bullet® to make my single smoothies.

All you need to do is put all ingredients in the largest bullet mixer cup and blend! Might take a few shakes to get it all mixed up.

You could even drink it right from that cup if you just can’t wait but I like to put my smoothies in my Starbucks cups. Paid for them, might as well make use of them.

So here you go, some tasty and healthy breakfast, lunch or after workout smoothie options!

Healthy Smoothie Recipes: Green Smoothie Bible

February 14, 2012 by 2 Comments

Need more fun healthy smoothie recipes? Green Smoothie Bible is your guide.

I was sent The Green Smoothie Bible with 300 delicious recipes to review.  This book is full of yummy yummy goodness.  For those of you who don’t like to eat fruits (like me) or veggies, you can drink them. This book has so many great recipes and also explains the many health benefits of smoothies.

In the book you’ll find out what the big deal is about greens, the protein myth, how green smoothies can help with weight loss and much more.  I’m still reading the book but my favorite part of the book was the tips they gave on the best way to blend green smoothies.  Blend greens and liquid first?  I should have known that trick to make it easier to blend altogether.  Good stuff.
