Green Power Smoothie

This is the most unexpected delicious smoothie packed with goodness that you will ever enjoy!

After making this smoothie for my Mom and Stepdad (that's her up there ^. What a foxy lady, right?!) , they've requested the recipe a couple times because it was THAT good!! It doesn't look too appetizing but you really can't beat the taste, or all of the nutritious delights it has packed into it! My husband especially loves this one… I get an order probably about once or twice a week to make it. 

Now, what makes this green you say? Well, some spinach and avocado account for the color. 

What makes it taste so yummy and scrumptious? That would have to be the bananas, dates and almond butter, oh and probably the almond milk since it has a bit of a sweet taste to it.

So what does this not-so-great looking green smoothie taste like? This really blew my socks off the first time that I made it, but it tasted just like……….BANANA BREAD! Sooooooo yummy! You get brain freeze gulping this down because it's such a delightful treat! 

Ok, now that you've got the five cent tour of how good this smoothie is, I'll share my recipe…

Green Power Smoothie

2 Handfuls Spinach

2 Bananas 

1/2 Avocado

2 Tbs Almond Butter

2 Tbs Flax Seeds

6 Dates

2 Cups Almond Milk

Blend it all together until smooth and enjoy!

This will make about three cups, or two large glasses. And, if you use fresh bananas instead of frozen, you'll need to add a handful of ice.

I hope you'll enjoy this smoothie as much as my family and I do!!

Fresh Squeezed OJ. Yumm!

There's nothing better in the morning than fresh squeezed OJ… I'm not even kidding! You've never tasted orange juice until you've tasted some freshly juiced kind. It's like magic in your mouth! It doesn't need anything, no sweetener, no nothing, it's perfection! 

If you don't like orange juice, try adding some fresh pineapple. Yumm! Make yourself a tall glass of pineapple OJ and enjoy the day. 

I always cut the peels off of the oranges with a knife, trying to leave as much of the white rind as possible since that's where a lot of nutrients are stored. Cut the oranges in quarters, and you're ready to juice! Hope you enjoy!

The Easiest Veggie Stew!

So whenever there's not much to eat in the house, I always can whip up a delicious veggie stew that is both satisfying and yummy! It's the easiest thing to do and takes little effort on my part, which is a plus!

 The most important ingredient, and the one that makes this stew, is the bouillon cube. So first you need to make the broth. You can add anything that suits your tastes! I always start off with five bouillon cubes and five cups of water in a deep pot, and put that to a boil. 

Then you start adding your spices. I add some rosemary, garlic salt, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper. If you want to add a little spice, add some red pepper. You can seriously add anything that you want here…there are so many different combinations of spices that will make this a different, yet yummy meal! Put this to a simmer for about 20-30 minutes. 

After that has simmered, and the house smells delicious, add your veggies. You can add fresh or frozen, or a combination of both. This is the perfect place to add your Ziplock freezer baggies full of your juiced pulp! So once the veggies have been added, simmer for 30-60 minutes and you're done!! 

That's it! I always add cheese to mine because I'm a cheese fiend, and because it tastes that much more delicious! So easy and so yummy, you'd be crazy not to try it!
