So, I show up to class today with my usual Double Tall 20 oz.
homemade smoothie. I mention to my
class if you’re going to stay for the full 90 min you got to put something in
you. I’m not talking about a crap bowl
of Special K either. No more skipping
the most important meal of the day. Cause
then I gotta deal with crabby/crashing sistas…lol. Really though, start the day off right.
Anyway, I mention “This one has kale;)”
“Yuck! I could NOT do that” Blurts out a front rower.
Me, “OK, but try this one”
“Oh wow that’s good!” she smiles.
Heck ya it is. I don’t
gulp down stuff just because it’s good for me.
I like things that taste good too.
I don’t just eat clean cause I like how it makes my body feel and look,
but really God made some amazing foods.
You just got to put them together into the right combinations. So, after they all pester me (ask & beg politely)…Yes
I will post a few of my favorite “START THE DAY OF RIGHT SMOOTHIES”:
NOTE-my fruit is frozen, I buy in bulk or on sale. Bananas’ should
be peeled then broken in half & freezer bagged. I got pineapple on sale a few weeks back for
a buck a piece…whahooooo. Cut those puppies up & freeze. Delish!

1-2 c. of Crystal
lite juice
1/3 c.

Powered (I put this in last after everything else is completely blended, then just

DeleteYummers, thanks for sharing your great ones.
DeleteThank you for posting this Nasca! I know you've handed recipes out in class but I've managed to lose them before trying them. I have a hard time getting motivated to make smoothies during our cool fall/winter weather but here's one I just love making:
ReplyDelete1 Cup Strawberries (Blueberries are great too)
1 Cup Mango (Freddie's has frozen organic mango cubes if you cant find fresh ones)
2 Ripe Bananas
1/2 - 1 Cup Crushed Ice
1 - 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk
1-2 Tbsp. Orange or Pineapple Juice Concentrate
8 oz. Vanilla or Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1/2 - 1 Cup Kale (optional, while it changes the color it does not change the taste and adds a ton of vitamins!)
This recipe makes about 4 - 8 oz. Smoothies, you can add more or less ice and milk depending on how thick you like your smoothies.
Ya, c all the possibilities we come up with. It's fabulous!
