Ingredients:


  • 1 Large Banana
  • 1/4 Cup Blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp. Vanilla or Strawberry Greek Yogurt
  • 3/4 Cup Strawberries or 3-5 Large Strawberries
  • 4 Ice Cubes

Directions: Add all ingredients to blender and blend 10-15 seconds. If you want your smoothie to be a little thicker and icier then add more ice cubes. If you want a thinner smoothie you can add less ice or use cold water instead. Personally I prefer a few extra ice cubes but then I blend it a little bit longer. Enjoy!



Before I go into my rant here, I trust everybody had an extraordinary clean eating weekend! What was the most enjoyable healthy meal you had? 

Okay, SO, starting 7am early today, I was strolling into my house after a run and had a message from a friend who was requesting that I come and live with her for a week to help her get through some emotional trouble with her now ex boyfriend... so as I was packing and getting ready I started to pack my blender ( I have a Nutribullet so it's not all that large ) and for a I second I thought to myself "should I really bring the Nutribullet?" My conclusion was DUH! It's small and convenient and fits in a bag just as easy as a hair dryer so why the hell not?

One of my favorite things about smoothies is the fact that people that don't normally have them get excited about them, heck, I still get excited about them. Who doesn't like their favorite, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables ground up into a a delicious, healthy, drinkable meal? Seriously? I know that smoothies alone won't be able to cheer my friend up, but I am hoping that my company, with the help of a healthy smoothie, will be a good start. This is going to be a long week.

This is my absolute favorite smoothie! Sometimes I add a thing or two more, or swap this for that, but this is mainly it. I will explain each ingredient and its importance a little bit. From left to right. Instant Coffee - This is a good way to get a little extra kick out of your smoothie! I use this because I am often working out in the mornings and then I have my smoothie afterwards. The caffeine really helps! You can buy this online HERE. PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter - PB2 is powdered peanut butter. The directions say to add 1 tbsp of water to 2 tbsp of PB2 but I just add the powder to my smoothie mix! PB2 is like peanut butter without all most of the fats and oils. I love it. PB2 is available at Amazon.com Green Superfood Blend - This is a superfood blend. I bought it mainly because of the chlorella and spirulina that is in the blend. These are high protein algaes. Spirulina is 60% protein by weight and does wonders for you. This blend makes me feel like a champi

4 Homemade Detox Water Recipes To Lose Weight Detoxing Tips To make it easier on yourself I would suggest getting a fruit infuser water bottle. They are less than 15$ and it makes detox water that much easier to manage. That way when you go to take a drink you don't have to deal with fruit and leaves touching your lips.
