Friday Night Smoothies

Our family has been experimenting with smoothie making lately. Last night was one of those nights. Usually we stick to the recipes but last night my husband tweaked it a little to fit our taste buds. This smoothie consists of:
Bananas, honey, blueberries, water, vanilla, flax seed, strawberries, vanilla yogurt and ice.

Adding in the strawberries

Measuring the vanilla yogurt


Adding the yogurt


Making sure the lid is on real good


Ta-Da

We've been enjoying them lately but I must say if you're not used to drinking smoothies often (like me) then it's definitely a taste that will take some time getting used to.
They sure are pretty aren't they?

Happy Saturday!

  3. Here is a recipe that I love and is so healthy.

    1 C. blueberries (or any berry)
    1 C. water
    1 bannana
    1 C. kale pulled from stem
    1/2-1 C. Spinach
    1/2-1 tsp. Vanilla extract

    I love how healthy these "green smoothies" are. I have read that the blender has the perfect set of teeth, grinding our fruit and veggies so that our bodies can use all the great vitamins in our food. I drink mine at breakfast and always share a small one with my kids. I feel like it is a great way to get some veggies into their little bodies.

    Thanks for sharing your fun recipe. :)

  5. Looks delicious! We make them similarly. We use frozen strawberries, yogurt (vanilla, strawberry or stranana), and a banana. They are so yummy!
