Ultimate Superfood Green Smoothie

Ultimate Superfood Green Smoothie

One of my favorite things to do is develop new smoothie recipes, especially if they are green smoothies. I work closely with one of my favorite companies, Simple Green Smoothies, on recipe development as well as photos and videos. So on any given day, you’ll find my fridge full of various leafy greens and a freezer full of fruit. Not a bag gig! For my own purposes, I wanted to develop a recipe for an […]

Acai Bowl Recipe with Kale and Berries

A few years ago I fell in love with acai bowls. I had never heard of an “acai bowl,” but I was definitely acquainted with acai. We had previously had it in sorbet mixed with chocolate or blueberries, or in powder form. I went to a smoothie bar and tried my first acai bowl. A typcial acai bowl is made with acai puree, bananas, some kind of liquid (usually soy milk), and maybe some other […]

Saturday Smoothie: Kale Cranberry Pear Green Smoothie

  I’m taking a break from all the sweets today and sharing another winter smoothie recipe. I can’t seem to get enough cranberries! I want to head to the store and stock up with more before they are gone for the year. I really like adding them to my smoothies. They add a great tang. Cranberries are really good for you, and this is a great way to use them without adding sugar. The dates […]

Saturday Smoothie: Kale Sunrise Green Smoothie

Ah, the green smoothie. For me, it’s a thing of beauty. I love eating my greens, but I also love starting my day by sipping them in a cold green smoothie. It’s kind of addicting! Once you start, you’ll never go back. I’m calling this one Kale Sunrise Smoothie because it tastes kind of tropical and I need some of that right now. (It’s getting COLD here!) I normally don’t like kale in smoothies, but […]

Cranberry Pumpkin Smoothie

This Cranberry Pumpkin Smoothie is the perfect thing to perk up your morning. I make a batch and it lasts me until lunch, unless I’m nice and share. Then it’s perfect for two people. No greens in this smoothie! I thought about it, but decided I really liked the flavor of the cranberries and pumpkin and wanted them to take center stage. It’s non-dairy (vegan) and has just enough spices and natural sweetness from dates. […]

Pineapple-Mango Green-a Colada Smoothie

Becky and I are sharing healthy spinach recipes.  Check out her recipe for Spinach-Almond Pesto over Pasta with Preserved Lemons.  Doesn’t that sound delicious?  I come up with silly names for my smoothies and juices.  Do you ever do that?  I’ve finally started juicing again.  I pulled my Breville out of the cupboard where it had been in hibernation mode since the Fall.  (Has it really been that long???)  Oh, fresh juice!  How I’ve missed […]

Vegan Peach Pecan Breakfast Smoothie

{Becky and I are sharing breakfast smoothie recipes this month.  Be sure to check out her Grapefruit Pear Green Smoothie.} I have had every intention to keep juicing, but I grew tired of cleaning my juicer.  Not because it is difficult to clean, but because my sink is usually full of dishes and I have to do those first before I can wash the juicer parts.  There’s the rub.  I almost always choose going to […]
