• Recipe: Green Spinach Smoothie

     Green Spinach Smoothie

    I made this Green Spinach Smoothie recently for breakfast and it was delicious!  My husband happen to see it on the table in passing and asked “what are you drinking”!?  It may look a little funky but it is actually quite tasty.  The girls think its great and it gives them an extra boost in vegetables and protein!  With the egg, peanut butter, milk and spinach combination its not only delicious it’s a healthy smoothie too.

    Green Spinach Smoothie:

    • 1 hard boiled Egg
    • 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • 2 cups fresh Spinach
    • 1 Banana (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter (optional)

    Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.  You can freeze the banana for added coolness!  I added Peanut Butter to the list because I tried it the other day with a tablespoon of peanut butter in it which tasted awesome!

    Great way to start your day!

    With the summer temperatures still high this is a great smoothie to help cool you off. Although I had the Green Spinach Smoothie for breakfast it would make a wonderful lunch or snack too!

  • Recipe: Special Strawberry Smoothie

    Special strawberry smoothie with cool whip & sprinkles

    Every once in awhile in celebration of our Saturday mornings together occasionally we do something extra special like add a little cool whip and sprinkles to our smoothie or waffles!  With Spring in the air and the weather getting warmer I want to share a smoothie recipe.  In case you haven’t already notice we love smoothies in our household!  If the girls are home and I start up the blender they are immediately in the kitchen asking for a smoothie.  Also, since one of our girls needs a little extra protein in her diet and one of the best ways to get her to drink a pack of Carnation instant drink mix is to add a touch into a smoothie (she can’t tell the difference and drinks all of it).

    Special Strawberry Smoothie:

    • 5 frozen Strawberries
    • 10 frozen Grapes
    • 1/2 Banana
    • 1/2 cup Vanilla Yogurt
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • Cool Whip
    • Sprinkles

    Put the strawberries, grapes, yogurt, and milk in the blender and mix until smooth.  Pour into a cup and top with cool whip and sprinkles! Enjoy! 🙂
