Love Smoothies!

I love smoothies!  They are so refreshing and actually can be very healthy!   Today I thought it would be fun to share with you a couple smoothie recipes from my good friend Lee Ann.  She is very knowledgeable when it comes to healthy eating! I am always picking her brain for info on how she prepares food and asking for recipes. It's amazing  how yummy "healthy" can be.

   

Wow, how good does this look!!!  Here is her recipes for a couple delicious drinks!

           Berry Smoothie

4 oz. pomegranate or cherry juice

         4 oz. coconut or almond milk

         1 T. chia seeds

         1 tsp. flax oil or 1/2 T. flax (ground)

         1 rounded T. protein powder of your choice

         1/4-1/2 cup frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries

         1/8-1/4 c. chopped frozen kale

         Blend all together and enjoy

Banana & Peach Smoothie

4 oz. pineapple juice

4 oz. coconut milk or almond milk

1 T. chia seeds

1 tsp. flax oil or 1/2 T. flax (ground)

1 rounded T. protein powder of your choice

l/2 frozen banana

4 slices frozen peach

(optional) frozen mango cubes

Blend all together and enjoy

Notice the pot of fresh mint?  Lee Ann grows many herbs and uses them in the kitchen.  What a great way to garnish a smoothie.

Lee Ann, thanks so much for sharing!   

A Stroll around the Yard!

It's a beautiful morning!  Grab a cup of coffee and let's take a stroll around my little corner of the world.

I absolutely love hydrangeas!  This is a young plant which has only one bloom but that one bloom just continues to put on quit a show.  Isn't it beautiful!! 

This year the real show stopper in my backyard is this window box.  Don't you just love the teacups!!

This window box is right outside my craft room window so I get to enjoy it from inside too.

This pot of petunias is right below the window box and equally as spectacular!  I think it is competing with the window box for my attention.  Ha!

The cone flower, one of my favorites, are blooming right now. 

   They are tucked in around the yard in various places, adding pops of color.

Black eyed Susan's are another great flower.  They are easy to grow and add so much color to the yard.

Every flower garden needs a fountain!  The sound of water is so serene.

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it.  Psalm 24:1

Thanks for stopping by today!

God bless your day!

From my little corner of the world to yours!
