Tip: Cut the avocado in half. The half with the pit, cover and put in the fridge. The avocado with the pit in it will last longer. I schedule smoothies back to back to that call for 1/2 an avocado each so nothing goes to waste.
Spinach & Berry Twist
- 3/4 cup water
- 6-8 large frozen strawberries
- handful of Spinach
- handful of blueberries
- 1 banana
- chia seeds
I found the frozen strawberries from Costco are great. They're larger than the grocery store ones, and there's a ziploc to keep them fresh. Blend all this and enjoy! It's sweet.
Light Green Rush
- 1/4 Avocado
- 1/2 c. water
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 handful spinach
- 1 red apple
- 1 banana
- Chia Seeds
This is delicious! You can't taste the spinach or avocado. The avocado makes it creamy. Add more water if you don't want it as creamy. You just taste the banana and a little apple. Blend it up and enjoy.
The Best Strawberry Smoothie!
- 1 Cup freshly squeeze apple juice (use a juicer)

- 1 Pear (cut and cored)
- 15 green grapes
- 6 oz. organic plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp avocado
Blend & enjoy! It looks like it wouldn't taste great, but it's pretty good. I added ice to make it colder to and to water it down a little. The lime over powers almost everything else.
Strawberry & Peanut Butter Rush
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter too (I use the brand PB2 that is powdered peanut butter. It's healthier for you and works well in smoothies.)
- 1 Cup Frozen Strawberries
- 1/2 Cup Oats
- 1 tsp Organic Honey (more or less to taste)
- 1 Banana
- 1 Cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
Blend and enjoy! You can add ice if you want it more cold.
Raspberry Delight
- 1 Cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- 1/2 C Frozen Raspberries
- 1 Banana
- 1/2 tbsp Chia Seeds
The frozen raspberries help keep it cold.
Note: You can also add a frozen berry mix (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries), it'll just come out a little darker.
Add Broccoli...
 |
| I was proud I finished it! |
- 1 Cup Water
