Minty Smoothie

Good afternoon!

Today's smoothie has a secret ingredient. I'm sure you can guess from the title that it's... Mint! I added a handful of mint leaves to today's smoothie and the outcome was great.

• 1 large handful spinach
• 1 small handful mint leaves (about one stem of large mint leaves)
• 1 pear
• 1 mango
• 8 oz coconut water
• 10 oz water
• 2 tbs protein
• 2 tsp Very Green
• 1 tbs chia seeds

I had intended to make a different smoothie entirely today but I couldn't prep the kiwi because of my allergy and my boyfriend had left for work early today. Overall, I'd say my experimental smoothie was a tasty success!

Mini Smoothie

Good afternoon,

The Magic Bullet is drying out after getting a thorough washing so I used my little blender today. My Hamilton Beach blender is actually a prize I got from Dave & Buster's and it's a really useful one!

• 1 small handful kale
• 1/2 c papaya
• 1/3 c mango
• 8 oz coconut water
• 4 oz water
• 1tbs protein
• 1 tsp Very Green

This smoothie turned out really smooth since there weren't any seeds in it at all. The recipe above actually only makes one large serving, not enough for two unless you only give each person 8ish oz. Overall, a good smoothie but it could use a little more flavor, probably will add cherries or something next time.

I'm impressed at the ability of my tiny blender to blend so well! The neat thing is that the blender itself is actually a portable smoothie cup but I don't love the idea of carrying around the blade in my cup so I poured the smoothie into one of my usual cups.

Tasty Tuesday!

Good Morning!

Today's smoothie turned out really well! While I have been roughly following recipes for the last week and again this week, I always make modifications where I think they'll improve the smoothie (Or to fit ingredients I already have). This smoothie's modifications are: Kale instead of Spinach and Yogurt Drink instead of Almond Milk. Not to mention the additives I like to use to make the smoothie more filling!

• 1 handful kale
• 1 peach (peeled and pitted)
• 1 mango (peeled and pitted)
• 10 oz yogurt drink
• 6 oz water
• 3 oz homemade vanilla chia pudding
• 2 tbs protein
• 2 tsp flax seeds
• 2 tsp Very Green

*Keep in mind that these recipes make enough for two smoothies or two people*

Like I said, this smoothie is delicious! Both my peach and mango were frozen and the consistency came out great. I managed to spill some of the yogurt drink on my phone while taking pictures but it worked out ok.
