Smoothie and then a espresso... that is my daily regimen! Thanks to my hubby for the new mug, I have room for multiple shots of espresso :)  

This is BY FAR my favorite smoothie, my husband and kids also love it!  What's not to love about peanut butter, banana and chocolate?!

Makes about 30oz

2c vanilla almond milk** (if using water, add in a dash of vanilla extract!)
2 heaping tablespoons of peanut or other nut butter
1 heaping tablespoon of raw cacao nibs
2 large handfuls of baby spinach
2 dandelion green leaves
2 large tuscan kale leaves

**I do try to avoid using store bought almond milk because it is processed and has 'iffy' ingredients in it, but once in a while is ok.  Anything in moderation, right!?  Just keep eating (or drinking) your greens and it will help purify your system of any 'iffy' free radicals.

I'm feeling a little scratchy in the throat! I think it may be the season for allergies!! I wanted something cleansing and detoxifying, so today I opted for the in season green of dandelions!!

Makes 2 servings:

1-2c water

1c green grapes

1/2 green Granny Smith apple

1 slice lemon

2c Tuscan kale

1/2 or 6 dandelion leaves (these are very bitter greens so use less or more to taste!)

Nub or 1/2 inch of fresh ginger (skin removed).

Makes 3 or 4 servings

2 or 3c water

3/4c green grapes

1 celery stalk

Slice of lemon

1 ripe green pear

1 banana

2c frozen spinach

2c romaine lettuce or 2 leaves

1 heaping tablespoon chia seeds (I added this to my serving only, not the kids).
