Tropical Berry Coconut Chia Smoothie & A Family Mountain Weekend

Image
  If you need a quick breakfast that will last a long time this one is filling and yummy. I had some fresh fruit that needed to be used (Mangoes, Strawberries, and Pineapples) and had recently cracked open a Coconut and was looking for a way to use it up. I decided the quickest way to use everything was a smoothie. It was fast, really yummy, and filling.   1 Cup each of Pineapple Chunks, Mangoes, and Strawberries 1 Cup Pineapple Juice ½ Cup Coconut meat w/Coconut water ½ pkg. Advocare Berry Meal Replacement Powder 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds   Place all ingredients into a blender (magic bullet) and blend till smooth. Serves 2.     Enjoy!                                                ...

Smoothie & Pops

If you love fruit and spinach you are in luck here. I wasn't really hungry for 'food' for supper on a recent evening and I had some fruit and spinach and coconut milk in the fridge that needed to be used so I blended together a smoothie and enjoyed this instead. I don't really have measurements so I'll just give you a list of ingredients and you can go by your own taste buds. ☺ They might be a safer guide than mine anyway. ☺ Mango Strawberries Blueberries Spinach Greek Yogurt Coconut Milk Flax Seeds Honey Stevia I blended it for a long time so that the blueberry skins and the flax seeds would not be an issue for the ones that might not be sure about textures, and it took quite a bit of coconut milk. It was yummy and hit the spot. It didn't get all so I decided to make it into Popsicles for later use. I haven't tried those yet but Serena had one on Sunday and seemed to enjoy it. If she likes it it must pass inspection. ☺ ~Be Bl...

Today the smoothie consisted of  2 cups fresh strawberries and about 3 large frozen ones , a ½ banana , ½ cup Greek vanilla yogurt , ½-1 teaspoon vanilla extract ,  1 teaspoon flax seeds, and 1 packet of SomerSweet sugar . It was delicious! ~Blessings~

Mango Pineapple Smoothie

It's been rainy and foggy around here for the last little while and although the sun did make a reappearance today, I still felt like I needed a bit more sunshine.  I had a mango that needed to be used and a pineapple just sitting around. So I decided to make a smoothie for lunch, with a bit of Greek Yogurt it was very satisfying. ☺ 1 mango, peeled and diced 1½ cups fresh pineapple, diced 1 (6 oz.) container Greek yogurt Cardamom, to taste Combine and blend till smooth.
