Don’t let the ‘cream’ in the name scare you away! This smoothie doesn’t have cream or sugar added, but it’s creamy and sweet enough to be called strawberries n’ cream! Earlier this week I posted the homemade healthy granola, and mentioned I use oats in my smoothies but realized I haven’t posted a smoothie that [...]
Our skin takes a beating every day, from the sun, sweating, or kids putting their hands all over it. This smoothie is full of vitamin A, C, E, and Omega-3′s, all of which are perfect to help heal, and protect your skin. Time to get glowing, radiant skin! Vitamin E plays an important role in [...]
I love eating seasonal – that means you get fruits and veggies at the peak of their flavor and nutrition. If you have a farmers market near you, you understand the notion of eating seasonal as that is how the farmers sell their goods. If it isn’t growing they can’t sell it. Once the fruit and [...]
Pink lemonade is a huge hit in this house when it’s hot and sunny outside. I have two toddler girls in the house, so anything pink is a hit. Thursday we had a bunch of strawberries that were on their last leg, so I wanted to use them fast. Smoothies are always a great way [...]
I posted a Chocolate Banana PB smoothie a while back but I’ve been using different ingredients lately so I wanted to share! It is important to use a frozen banana in this smoothie.

I love this refreshing, bright combination! If you are in Atlanta, GA or Charleston, SC, you may have enjoyed a popsicle from King of Pops. The orange-basil popsicle is one of my favorites! Ever since I had one, I have enjoyed adding orange slices and basil to water, so today I decided to put in [...]
This smoothie has been a hit all week! Sweet, delicious, nutritious, and maybe the best part of all, this “green” smoothie is purple, thanks to a cup of blackberries. No one will ever know there is a cup of spinach hidden under that deep purple. Blackberries have more grams of fiber than they do sugar, [...]
I share a lot of recipes for smoothies and juices so I wanted to take the time to tell you how I got hooked and give you some tips for both. Five years ago, I was like most people at the store. I bought what I thought was healthy but most of it was boxed, [...]
HELLO beautiful, tasty, healthy, and sweet green smoothie! This is my new favorite drink in the morning. Yes, even before my cup of coffee. :) Each serving has a full days worth of vitamin A, C, and K, and plenty of fiber too! Pineapples are on the clean 15 so you do not have to [...]
Green Tea has loads of great benefits and putting it in a smoothie makes it great for those who may not typically drink tea. Drinking 2 -3 cups of green tea a day has shown to increase your metabolism enough to burn an extra 60 calories. I’m not big on counting calories but it’s good [...]
