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!
