Fruit: Frozen blueberries, strawberries, cherries, mango, peaches. I find raspberries have too many seeds for my blender. Fresh banana, melon, pineapple.
Vegetable: Handful dark greens - kale, spinach, romaine, chard, parsley. Grated carrot, cucumber.
Healthy Fat & Protein: Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, avocado, whole milk plain yogurt.
Liquid: Coconut water, nut milk, whole cows milk, carrot juice, fruit juice, regular water.
Flavors: Dates, fresh grated ginger, shredded coconut, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla.
This morning I made a kale, almond milk, cherry, and yogurt buzz. Sounds scary - tastes great. You pour anything into Dylan's beloved plastic doggie cup (one of those annoyingly toddler friendly restaurant gifts) and he'll gulp it down.
Sounds D-lish! Where can I get those cups?
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to what we have every day. My husband and I fill up every morning with a smoothie that keeps us going for hours!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my recipe:
1 1/2 cups water
fresh ginger – a chunk about the size of the end of my thumb – peeled and sliced
2 T agave nectar
2 tsp of ground flax seeds
2 scoops Whole Nectar Soy Protein ( www . wholenectar . com remove spaces)
1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
a couple of handfuls of other frozen fruit (sometimes I use peaches, sometimes I use a mixed fruit that has mango, papaya, pineapple and strawberries)
something green...kale, spinach, zucchini – whatever I have sometimes banana
This is incredibly delicious and the ginger gives it a nice little kick

Rebecca - I'm afraid they're becoming a thing of the past! D likes any cup that looks like a grown-up cup but I force a lid on it somehow.
ReplyDeleteSusan - thanks for the recipe! I forgot about oatmeal. A cafe down the street has one with granola wizzed in it and I love it!
