- They are easy to make and leave very little mess to clean up.
- My daughter loves them too!
- I can sneak in extra healthy ingredients that I normally wouldn't eat by themselves.
- It's a great way to make sure I'm getting enough fruits and vegetables in my diet.
There are so many smoothie recipes out there to choose from. There are smoothies to help you detox and lose weight, there are smoothies that energize you, there are smoothies that help you sleep better, and there are smoothies that just plain taste good.
But I like to experiment with whatever ingredients I have on hand to make my own concoctions. This is a great guide to get you started:
Lately, I've been making peanut butter pumpkin smoothies. I like to throw in all sorts of weird things too, like avocado and banana to make it extra sweet and creamy. And I almost always put milk in mine because I share with my daughter and she needs the dairy.
Some other add ins that I like, depending on what kind of smoothie I'm making, are wheat germ, chia seeds, hemp oil (though not too much or it'll alter the flavor of the smootie), yogurt, kale and spinach. And there are many more sneaky, nutritious ingredients I'd like to try, including doTERRA's new IQ Mega, an omega supplement that tastes like wild orange rather than fish.
An apple a day is great at keeping the doctor away, but a smoothie a day is even better! Share your favorite smoothie recipe with a comment!
