It's week two of my personal smoothie challenge! Today I made a smoothie from the Martha Stewart Whole Living Smoothie App on my iPad. I had to vary it a bit, due to what I had on hand:
1 cup lowfat organic plain yogurt
1 cup frozen organic strawberries
2 cups frozen organic mango
1 1/4 cups apple cider
This is a nice and tangy one! I love it!
Today's smoothie is an impromptu creation meant to sustain me through a bunch of housework that I have to accomplish. Here's what I blended:
2 heaping tablespoons Navitas Naturals Hemp-Cacao-Maca Superfood Blend Protein Smoothie Mix
1 cup unsweetened Almond Milk
1 cup frozen organic strawberries
1 cup frozen organic blackberries
1 heaping teaspoon local honey
1/3 cup plain lowfat yogurt
This is a crazy-thick superfood smoothie! It's not as sweet as you would think, because the hemp-cacao-maca mix is a bit savory, but the honey brings out the sweetness of the berries nicely. This should keep me going a very long time today!
I was running around all day yesterday, so I didn't try a new smoothie, I just had Day 3's again. However, today I came up with a very interesting smoothie, although it's a bit time-intensive to make. It tastes wonderful, though!
1 fresh pomegranate
1 fresh Asian pear
1 cup frozen freestone peaches
1 cup plain yogurt
Blend until smoothie, then be sure to press your blend through a fine mesh strainer before drinking, in order to get any residual seed casings from the pomegranate out.
Enjoy!
I'm not giving up on my goal to drink a healthy smoothie a day for a month!
Today's is an impromptu invention, and I think it turned out great! Let me know what you think if you try it, too!
1 cup Almond Milk (I use unsweetened original by Almond Breeze)
1 scoop Nature's Plus Spirutein Vanilla flavored protein powder
1 cup frozen freestone peaches
1 cup frozen (and pitted!) sweet dark cherries
1 banana
Blend until smoothie, and enjoy!
Hey all! Since my last two smoothies seemed to look the same (thanks to the amazing purple properties of blueberries!), I decided to mix it up a bit today and make an orange-colored smoothie. I like to vary colors, in order to get different nutrients throughout the week. Today's smoothie is DELICIOUS and very thick, yet refreshing. Try it out! Here's what I used:
1 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt (organic)
1 cup frozen freestone peaches
1 cup frozen mango (organic)
1 banana
Blend til totally smooth--it may take a bit of time, and you may have to stop your blender to stir a few times--but it's worth it!
I'm doing it! It's my personal smoothie challenge, day two!
Today I made a REALLY yummy smoothie! I blended:
1) the seeds/juice of one fresh pomegranate (since it's the season!)
2) one banana
3) one cup of frozen organic blueberries
4) one cup of organic lowfat vanilla yogurt
This is insanely delicious--give it a try!
It's been forever since I updated this blog, but I'm going to try to get better, because I'm setting out on a personal challenge to drink a different healthy smoothie each day for a month! Today I begin, and today I start with a recipe from Martha Stewart's Whole Living Smoothie app that I have on my Ipad.
Here's the recipe:
1 cup blueberries (I used organic frozen)
1 cup yogurt (I used organic lowfat vanilla)
1 banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground flax seed (you need it to be ground to get the benefits)
Blend and enjoy! This is a DELICIOUS and very filling smoothie, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; it's also high-fiber, gluten-free, and rich in omega-3s. Enjoy!
