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.

Makes 30oz

1-2c water
1c pineapple
1/2c frozen green grapes (I froze them after buying fresh to preserve them!)
1 thin slice lemon (like you would add to a lemon water)
2c beet greens (I bought a bunch of golden beets to roast and saved the greens for my smoothies!)
2c spinach (whole leaf or baby spinach is fine)

TIP:  I'm on a more tighter budget than I have ever been due to having 2 kids in full time day care, so instead of buying packaged pre washed baby spinach, I'm opting for the bulk whole leaf spinach for less than 1/2 the price!  Sure, it's a tad more time consuming to wash, dry, store vs pre packaged kind, but I gotta do what I gotta do to get my greens in!!  Also, at Whole Foods, they sell loose beets (without the greens), and instead I opt for the bunch beets with their greens still attached, all so I can add them to my smoothies!

Cheers =)
