Smoothie Heaven

These are a couple of smoothies that we have tried so far this week. I received these recipes from the Nature's Nutrition Workshop  that I attended last week. We have been having one each afternoon (just before the afternoon munchies set in) and they have been lovely. I have to say the kids have been especially mad about them!
 
 
 
 
BERRY SMOOTHIE
 
Blend together the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1 banana
  • 1 TBSP LSA (Blended Linseed, Sunflower Seeds and Almonds; good source of protein)
  • 1 tsp Hawaiian Spirulina
  • 1 cup water
 
"So yum. Can we have that one every day. And look it matches my outfit!" The Fashionista
 



TROPICAL SMOOTHIE

Blend together the following ingredients:
  • 2 slices pineapple
  • 1/2 paw paw (we substituted for 1/2 mango cause the Mama grabbed the wrong item at the grocers)
  • 1 TBSP organic coconut oil
  • 1 TBSP Pro Fibre (I used Spirulina instead on another day and it tasted the same; it, just went green)
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup yoghurt or 1/2 avocado (we used raw almond milk as I was out of avocado and yoghurt and I used a bit more than 1/2 cup as the mixture was very thick)
  • 1 cup ice (we didn't use ice as the pineapple and mango had been frozen so they didn't go off.)

"Tastes really lovely. Pineappley, (sic) like the beach." Agent Smelly

  1. MMM, smoothies! I really enjoy them, but I rarely make them myself. I'm more of a go-to-Booster-Juice kinda gal - ha!
