Very Berry Chocolate Smoothie

1 Comment

Almonds + Berries + Chocolate = Loads of Antioxidants! And kids just love any chocolate drink. So, motivate yourself and the kids to get moving and then come back for this delicious smoothie.

Now I do use Orgain’s protein powder. It fuels your body with clean, organic protein and other nutrients. Given that it’s all plant-based, I don’t think twice when the kids make a smoothie with it.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 scoops Orgain Chocolate Protein Powder
  • 8 Almonds
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 cup frozen Blueberries
  • 0.5 cup frozen Strawberries
  • 2 cups Almond Milk

METHOD:

  1. Add the Almond Milk to a blender (I use a Vitamix)
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients
  3. Blend, pour and enjoy!

Peanut Butter – Dragon Fruit Smoothie

1 Comment

The Pretty-in-Pink Smoothie gets it’s vibrant color from Dragon Fruit. This tropical fruit has a subtle sweet flavor that can be described as a cross between a pear, kiwi and watermelon. It’s rich in anti-oxidants, high in fiber and could potentially lower your blood sugar. It can also strengthen your immune system and boost your iron. Combine that with peanut butter which has plenty of protein, high in fiber and good for your bones – and you get a delicious, great-looking and good-for-you smoothie!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen Dragon fruit – cubed
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup almond milk (or cow’s milk)

Blend, pour …..slurp!!
