I Love Homemade Fruit Smoothies

April 5, 2012 By 4 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.

Simple Smoothie Recipes

Two delicious and simple  smoothie recipes

Blueberry Green Smoothie

1 c frozen blueberries
2 handfuls of spinach
1 scoop protein powder
1 c water (cold)
2 tbsp Chia seeds
Ice

This is probably one of my favorite healthy smoothie recipes yet. I forgot to add ice so I had to let it sit in fridge for a bit and while in there it thickened because of the addition of Chia seeds (they expand in liquid). So what does one do when it’s too thick to drink?  Pour it in a bowl and eat it up with a spoon.  Adding a bit of granola on top makes a nice touch. Yum! [Read more...]
