THE KEY TO A YUMMY SMOOTHIE

 Great kitchen tools! I swear by my Vitamix blender. I know, I know…it’s expensive. I swear it’s worth it y’all! The texture you get from the Vitamix is the same as if you paid $12 for it at the smoothie shop!

These smoothies don’t suck y’all! Great flavors, very filling and super healthy.

Vanilla Pistachio Smoothie

1 scoop vanilla protein

1 cup unsweet organic almond milk

1/4 cup pistachios

1/2  frozen banana

Topping: crushed pistachios

The frozen banana makes the smoothy so  creamy! Bananas have a lot of sugar so I only add 1/2 to each one.

Almond Butter Cookie Smoothie

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 spoon organic almond butter

1 cup unsweet organic  almond or coconut milk

dash of salt

dash of cinnamon

1/2 frozen banana

Topping: sprinkle of cinnamon

Chocolate Lovers Smoothie

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 cup frozen avocado

1 tbsp cacao powder

dash of salt

Very Berry Smoothie

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 cup frozen berries

1 cup unsweet organic  almond or coconut milk

1 big ole handful of frozen spinach

I love adding bee pollen to smoothies its my new favorite super food: helps with inflammation, reduces stress, great antioxidant and detoxes the liver.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

1 tablespoon organic peanut butter

½ cup unsweet organic almond milk

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 scoop of Vital Collagen protein powder

½ frozen banana

I love sipping these refreshing smoothies after my workouts.  So simple to make – no fancy ingredients and super healthy too.
