Sunrise Smoothie

 

I am feeling the need to eat healthier, still be creative and without question...enjoy the taste of what I consume as nutrtious body fuel.  This smoothie will fit all criteria and if you have the problem of getting veggies into your kiddos, this may be an option for you.  Make sure your ingredients are very cold to start as processing will increase the temperature.  Enjoy!

PBJ Smoothie

Last year, we were on a smoothie kick about this time and unfortunately we got off of it. 

It takes planning to keep items in stock to have enough variety so that you don’t get tired of them.  I think that's what happened, but I do remember feeling much better at that time and even shed extra pounds.  This one was a favorite and when I texted my husband that we were having PBJ Smoothies for dinner tonight, he texted back “Can’t Wait”…I jest not.  I do wish health and happiness to all of you, and try a smoothie every once in a while, besides really liking them…you may just feel a “little” better.
Tip:  When you go to the Farmer's Market or find fruit or veg (yes veggies too) on sale at the market...buy extra and freeze them prepared and ready to go for future smoothies.
