3 really good smoothie recipes

I’ve been looking for smoothie recipes that are good for me but also taste great. I haven’t really found a “green smoothie” that I’m excited about but I love these fruit smoothies. One thing that keeps coming up is that your smoothie should have plenty of protein and have healthy fats. This will increase your energy throughout the day. The ingredient that covers both protein and healthy fat is Peanut Butter, preferably natural peanut butter. Here’s three really good recipes. Really easy to make:

Blueberry Smoothie:

1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt

1 cup blueberries

¼ cup peanut butter

¼ tsp. ground ginger (if you have the Vitality Oils, Ginger goes a long way!!)

Put all the ingredients and 1 cup of ice in a blender and puree.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup:

1 ½ cut of dark chocolate almond milk

1 banana (sliced and frozen ahead of time)

¼ cup peanut butter

1 Tbs. honey

¼ tsp. mint extract (I use the Vitality Peppermint but only 1 drop)

Put all the ingredients and ½ cup of ice in a blender and puree

Strawberry Starter:

1 cup unsweetened coconut mild

1 cup strawberries (I use frozen and less ice)

¼ cup peanut butter

1 Tbs. honey

1 tsp lemon juice

Puree all ingredients with ½ to 1 cup of ice

I’d love to get some of your recipes. Please add them in the comments section. I would like to put a few good “green” smoothie recipes up here so let me know if you have any.

How I Got Here

HOMETOWN: Kent, WA and Gold Canyon, AZ

After 30+ years in healthcare, I felt like a hypocrite. I knew better. I was overweight. I was not active, at all. I was having more and more pain and I was having fairly extreme mood swings (Getting older is great, right?). I just wasn’t doing the things I had enjoyed in the past. And getting older really frightened me.

About that time, I was introduced to a new way of thinking. In my heart I knew that we have a lot of influence in our health and how we feel. I just wasn’t acting on it. I began to look at the lifestyle I was living. I became more aware of the natural alternatives including what I ate, products I used, and what I was “treating” myself with. We started switching out the old for the new and more natural.

It’s been a process but it has been a game changer for us. I feel back in control of my health, physically and mentally. I realize I have the option of turning to a natural choice first, whether it is for cleaning, laundry, personal care, health support, or even skin care. The feeling of "I've got this" when I look at my stash of natural products. My husband and I have been able to eliminate almost all of the toxic chemicals in our home. I still fully believe there is a place for conventional medicine and of course we still need many of the products on the market. But it just makes sense to me to try something more natural first. It’s hard to quantify feeling better all the way around. But it’s true….we do.

So are you ready to take ownership of your health? I can promise you it is empowering and can be a game changer for you as well. I’m convinced that it’s never too late. Let’s do this. And let’s do it together!
