Smoothie Bliss....

This is the healthiest, creamiest, most nutrition-packed smoothie, 
but it has the most important 
ingredient.....it tastes DELICIOUS!!!!

No more being able to taste those gag-worthy things that are so good for you, 
but so bad at the same time!

Well this smoothie defies those odds.
 I promise you. 
Like I said in my "About Me" post, my promise to you is that these recipes 
will ALL taste amazing. 

So give it a try, and your body (and taste palette) will thank you :)

Super Healthy Yummy Smoothie


Can you just feel the goodness?




Feel free to mix it up with different ingredients

             

                  This is my favorite "liquid" to add to the smoothie, it's Organic "Mango Lemonade" and its a healthy way to add some liquid to your drink.


My other favorite ingredient. This has all the stuff that tastes disguisting, 
but is disguised by all the fruit flavours overtaking it.
 It has things like wheat grass, jerusalem artichoke, 
spurilina, barley grass, 
wheat sprouts, etc.

Check out their website (www.odwalla.com). You can find this drink at Superstore.



Finish with either Mint Leaf or a slice of Orange




As you can imagine, feel free to switch up any ingredients that you like. 
Combine different flavour combinations,
 ~BIG TIP~ but remember to write them down as you do it, or you'll never remember what you put in it. 

Here is the recipe for the smoothie pictured above:
(along with all the nutrition info so you know how well you're treating your body)
