This post is a long time coming, as I give this smoothie recipe out to almost everyone I work with who’s looking to live a bit healthier and boost the nutrition in their diet in the most delicious way! It’s my go-to on many mornings because its an amazing way to sip on my breakfast while knowing I’m having an extremely nutrient dense, fiber and antioxidant fueled glass of goodness. (more…)
Hope everyone had a spooky and fun Halloween! Now what to do with all that pumpkin??! Whether you have actual pumpkins that you don’t know what to do with, or canned pumpkin – here is a delicious breakfast or snack option to use up the goods. Smoothies are also great for satiety (staying fuller, longer) and providing a great mix of macro and micronutrients to naturally energize the body. (more…)
Creamy, delicious smoothie bowls are currently all the rage in the health world. They make an amazing breakfast or lunch and are pretty much like ice cream, but healthy. I’m telling you to have ice cream for breakfast. This recipe was so delicious and easy I couldn’t not share the recipe! Only 5 ingredients make up this smoothie bowl in the base:
Frozen Banana
Frozen Raspberries
Natural Peanut Butter
Chia Seeds
Unsweetened Almond Milk (more…)
One thing I highly recommend for those starting to live a healthier lifestyle is to invest in a juicer. A juicer removes all of the fiber from the vegetables and fruits and leaves you with pure, easily absorbed vitamins, minerals and enzymes that give your digestive system a rest, allowing your cells to repair themselves and assist your body in recovering from the toxins of everyday life.
I love experimenting with all types of smoothie recipes because the possibilities really are endless. I have to keep it fresh because I can get bored easily and I’m not the type of person who likes the same foods every day. Nutritionally, it’s so much better to get a variety of foods than sticking to the same thing every day, so don’t be afraid to try some new combinations! (more…)
I have to say that I love banana in just about any type of smoothie. It adds such a rich creaminess (especially when frozen beforehand) that is hard to achieve with other fruits alone. I really love getting a great dose of plant based protein and high influx of nutrients and antioxidants in the morning or after a great workout to rebuild my muscles.
