I SCREAM💚YOU SCREAM💚WE ALL SCREAM FOR........GREEN SMOOTHIES????

HOORAY FOR GREEN SMOOTHIES!!

💚💚💚💚

We drink A LOT of Green Smoothies...some of them are more delicious than others BUT they are ALL very beneficial to our health.  My family has been drinking them for several years.  

I find that they make a great quick, nutritious breakfast or they help me round out my dinner if I don't feel my kiddos had enough fruits and veggies for the day.  At dinner time the kids and I like to count up the number of different fruits and veggies we had that day...sometimes we fall short.  That is when I know I can count on the Green Smoothie to boost our fruit and veggie intake.

Remember I did a post about Slowing Down and Cooking Dinner? If not, here is the link to that post (Click Here).  This is a great way to quickly have a healthy meal on a night where you just don't think you have time. Green Smoothies are very portable...you can add these to a travel mug and hit the road AND MISS THE DRIVE-THRU!!

I love Green Smoothies because there are endless options to add in for nutritional needs and different flavors to keep it from being boring.  They are so easy to customize for your family's needs~dairy free, nut free, low calorie, etc. 

You can use a base of water, milk, coconut milk (homemade~here is a great recipe that I use), fresh juices, yogurt or teas.  These can be different every time...just depends on your dietary need at the time and your level of hunger ;)

Then add in the add ins ~ Some of our favorites are:

• Bananas
• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Pineapple
• Mango
• Raspberries
• Mixed Salad Greens
• Spinach
• Kale
• Spirulina **Do Not use if there is a Seafood Allergy
• Chia Seeds
• Honey
• Peanut Butter (or PB2 Powder)
• Cinnamon 
• Turmeric
• Ginger
• doTERRA Essential Oils

This is just my go to favorites for our family...the list is really endless.  In my opinion - just about everything tastes good in a smoothie.  I always use local and organic ingredients in all of my smoothies whenever possible.

As I apply my Green Smoothies to my WHOLE life, I find that they just make me feel better.  And I can boost what my body needs very easily by adding it to my smoothie.  Also on the super busy days ~ I can quickly make a smooth and make sure that I am getting my family's nutritional requirments met!  This does wonders for our health and gives me great peace of mind!

With my WHOLE Heart ~
