Morning Frothy Monkey Smoothie

January 5, 2020 · by Meg · 1 Comment

Morning Frothy Monkey Smoothie

The month of smoothies continues. I love this smoothie on the weekends because it gives me a little pick me up in the afternoon (and perfect for weekday mornings), and it’s got a few of my favorite ingredients, almond butter & coffee! Can’t really go wrong with that. It’s a nice treat, something a little indulgent that you don’t have to feel too guilty about. I’ve been taking polls on facebook about what your favorite ingredients for smoothies are, so I’m going to try to include them all (I don’t think that will be too much of a problem)! I hope that you’ve started off your new year right and that you are sticking to those resolutions related to your health!

Pineapple Basil Smoothie

January 2, 2020 · by Meg · 1 Comment

Pineapple Basil Smoothie

Happy New Year! How are you all doing with your resolutions? Many of you probably decided that losing weight would be one of them, right? I have that on my list also. 30 pounds of baby weight to get rid of (10 of them already gone). So I feel your pain! I’m starting off January with a month of smoothies. My goal is to get you 20. I figure that’s not too bad, one every other day. I drink them every morning, and I am always changing the ingredients based on what I have in the fridge or feel like that day. They fill me up (lots of fiber) and it’s a great way to start the morning. Not to mention the easiness, my sister just gave me her nutribullet, so I can make smoothie for lunch when I feel like it too! I hope you like this first one, I love the taste of pineapple, and both basil and pineapple are so good for you. Basil is a good source of magnesium, helps with cardiovascular health, and helps with inflammation (hello, vitamin A)!
