Triple Berry Green Smoothie

July 20, 2015

I know, I know . . . this smoothie is definitely not green! But guess what? It’s totally loaded with a green good-for-you ingredient that you don’t even know about! My kids love smoothies, but hate when they are bright green. I love making this recipe because the berries hide any sort of green that may be hiding in this smoothie!…

When I first heard the term “green smoothie”, I was immediately turned off. Let’s be honest- a green drink doesn’t look exactly appetizing. However, don’t knock it until you have tried it! You might actually be surprised at how amazing a green smoothie tastes despite it’s unappetizing color.

Let’s face it- most people do not get enough vitamins and minerals in their diets. We live in a world of processed foods loaded with mystery ingredients and we have no idea where they came from or what they are doing to our bodies. It’s time to get back to the basics; to take control of what goes into our bodies and eat those things that will give us energy and keep us healthy.

And green smoothies are a great place to start.

Today I wanted to share my latest favorite: Chocolate Strawberry Green Smoothies. Now to get the chocolate in there, I actually use a chocolate protein powder. This one is my favorite because it has tons of protein with not as many calories and lower cholesterol.

Vitamin C Cold Blastin’ Green Smoothie Recipe

December 22, 2013

Have you caught a cold yet this winter?

Let’s be honest- chances are that sometime during the next few months, you will!

My kids have already brought home some nasty colds from school so my wife whipped up these green smoothies to help them get over their colds a little more quickly. Even if you aren’t fighting a cold, it’s a great way to pack more vitamin C (and tons of other vitamins and nutrients) into your diet.

Plus, with all the citrus fruit in season, this smoothie is especially delicious.
