Look at that beautiful dark purple color! Oh how I love Spring... Is in the air!!!

Today's smoothie consists of the following:

Makes 1 serving or about 20oz

1-1.5c water

3 small celery stalks (with the leaves)

1 ripe and soft kiwi

Slice of lemon

1c frozen wild blueberries

1c baby spinach

2c spring mix salad greens

4 drops of liquid stevia

Blend and enjoy this dark purple smoothie!

The picture is pretty but this smoothie was not so good! Haha. I definitely think it could be better if I added a few less of some and more of other ingredients. So, here is just a base recipe for you to take away today, but know that it's not good as listed below! I will fool around with these ingredients another time to try to make it better. In the mean time, here you go!


Makes 1 serving:


1c raw yam
4T coconut flakes
1c water
1 vanilla stevia packet
1/2 banana
1c frozen spinach.

Makes 1 serving or 20oz

1 or 2c Vanilla almond milk

1c or 1 handfull frozen organic spinach

2 large romaine lettuce leaves

2 or 3 Tbsp unsweetened coconuts flakes

Optional: stevia to sweeten to taste or 1 ripe banana.

Tips: I didn't have fresh spinach so I used my reserve frozen spinach in a bag. Also, I didn't have a ripe banana but I bet if I used that I wouldn't have to use stevia.

Makes 40oz or 5 cups

2-3c water
1/2c beets (mine were pre-roasted, but you can also use raw)
1T coconut oil
1T apple cider vinegar
2-3 celery stalks
slice of lemon
1/2 avocado
1 ripe green pear
1/2c frozen mixed berries
2c spinach
2 large romaine leaves
1/2c pineapple
Stevia to taste

This smoothie is super detoxifying!  From the beets to the coconut oil to every single ingredient in this thing (aside from the stevia), but you get what I'm saying!  

By consuming beets you can reap the benefits of essential antioxidants as well as reducing inflammation within your body... They also help your body to, literally, excrete toxins!  

Coconut oil increases your metabolism.

Berries contain tons of antioxidants, again, to help rid your body of free radicals and/or toxins... Just one cup a day to reap the benefits!

Spinach and Romaine ... they are GREENS!! Need I say more?!

Lemon helps cleans the liver!

Get cleansing!

Makes 22oz or 2 servings

1-2c water
1 heaping Tbsp raw cacao powder
2 heaping Tbsp organic peanut or other nut butter
2-3c kale
1 ripe banana
1 packet vanilla stevia extract (optional)

Variations:  My banana wasn't sweet enough so I added the vanilla stevia sweetener, or you can add a dash of vanilla extract.  You can also use vanilla almond milk, but I don't like to use that too often because its processed.  

Oh, and your kids will like this one too as it's all the sweet and salty and chocolaty flavors in one!
