Kid Friendly Smoothie Recipe! #MommyMonday

Hi My Loves!!

I've had a couple of people ask what I put in our smoothies to make the kids actually like them haha. Luckily our kids love smoothies. I try to always put some kind of fruit in them because it makes them yummy for them. By keeping the fruit in, you can sneak in veggies if you have picky eaters. This recipe is awesome to start off with because you aren't going crazy with the veggies but still getting a few in :)

WHAT'S IN IT?

 Handful Frozen Strawberries

Handful Frozen Blueberries

1/2 Banana

Baby Carrots

Spinach

English Cucumber

Aloha Powdered Green Juice

Milk

We just recently got the Magic Bullet (we had the baby bullet but it eventually died after years of using it like crazy). We got ours at Target for $50.... if you use your Target red card then you can save your 5% too, so take advantage of that!! The magic bullet is amazing! I love it. It blends everything quickly and effortlessly. What I love is that you can customize each person's smoothie because it comes with 4 drinking cups that you make the smoothie right into. So if you want more veggies in your's and your hubby's/partners and more fruit in the kiddos.... bam you can :) I highly recommend it if you are in need of a blender that doesn't break the bank.

The Aloha powdered green juice is pretty cool too. It's basically green juice put into a dry powder packet, that you can add to water, juice or smoothies, so that you can get those extra green goodies that are so healthy and delightful. There is a huge list of what's in it on the packet. I'll link it below so you can go and take a peek yourself. I don't recommend it in water or juice as it does taste a bit like grass lol.... so add it to your smoothies. That way you can't taste it and neither can the kids and they are getting extra greens in. Pretty snazzy :)

Aloha LINK!

Today I added apples as well to ours and that was super refreshing. Kale is also super yummy. You can always use coconut water, juice, whatever you like. We like ours with milk. It makes it a little creamier :) It's really up to you. Try different things each day and you will find what you love. I just add whatever we have in the house.

Hope that helps for those of you who have been asking ;)

My Latest Obsession: Spinach Smoothie!

Hi My Loves!!!

I have been obsessed with this smoothie lately. Not only is it super filling, it's also delicious and gets you some good old nutrients in your body too :) WOOHOO!!!

I have one of these every day and it makes my sweet tooth craving so much better! So if you have cravings for cake and donuts like I do, but don't want to eat them (well you do but try to be good haha)... then try this :) It will make you feel good!

For some reason this picture won't go centered, which is really annoying me but it won't work, so sorry it's off to the side :(

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

A Blender (that always helps)

1 Banana

5-6 Strawberries (I use fresh)

1 1/2 handfuls of fresh blueberries

5 Ice Cubes

1 Tbsp Peanut Butter ( I use Skippy Natural Creamy)

Your choice of milk ( I use 1% Cow's Milk)

3 Big Handfuls of Spinach

Add the ice first, then strawberries and blueberries, break the banana in half and plop it in there.... add your peanut butter, then spinach and then milk last. I usually just eye the milk, I don't measure. Just put enough in the bottom so that it's about 2 inches up from the bottom. Then put the blender to smoothie or whatever your blender says that's similar and leave it on for about 1 minute or until it looks nice and blended :)

If you don't like the taste of peanut butter, then I would suggest leaving it out and maybe adding greek yogurt instead for the protein. Or if you do like peanut butter, add both! Extra protein!!! I just didn't have any.

Hope you like this delicious smoothie! Let me know if you do try it ;) I'd love to know how you like it!

Thanks for reading!

Happy Thursday :)
