Find out how you can lose weight and feel great with the smoothie diet! Imagine! Weight loss that’s delicious!
I’m not considered a food or recipe blogger, but I have been having so much fun in the kitchen this summer! I’ve been experimenting and creating new recipes. Some have turned out so good, I just had to share!
I am definitely an everyday smoothie, kinda girl. It started way back, when a smoothie was my only source of fuel for my body. I had some weird sort of digestive disorder, and my diet was limited to 5 ingredients. (You can read that story here, if you are curious.) So ever since then, I have always enjoyed my daily smoothie. As I continue to add more and more foods to my menu list, it makes it so much more fun to switch it up using fresh fruits and veggies that are in season! While having the added bonus of getting most, if not all, of my fruit and vegetable servings in one punch! I am very conscious of what goes in my body. I try to eat as clean, healthy and nutrient rich as I can. That is why smoothies are such a huge staple to my diet.
Do you have a blender?
I couldn’t talk about smoothies without raving about my blender!! My trusty ninja is amazing! It is the most used, abused and loved appliance in my kitchen! Not only does it create my daily smoothie and make my deliciously easy and healthy spaghetti sauce, it doubles as a food processor to make soups and other sauces, and you can even mix dough!
I hope you try this recipe, and start experimenting with your own healthy concoctions, while the vast supply of fresh produce is still abundant!!
Happy blending!
