I’ve been traveling overseas for the past week and feeling pretty yucky as a result. Not only has the time difference thrown me off but my regular eating habits have become lax. I woke up this morning ready to get back into my routine and craving my usual morning smoothie. Panic-stricken that I had no ingredients in the house, I popped into my kitchen to see what I could rustle up. It’s amazing the concoctions I manage to create when I’m forced to use my creativity. So without further ado, here it is:
Choc-full of MWAH Smoothie
1 can light coconut milk
2 frozen bananas
1 Tbsp all natural peanut butter (or another nut butter)
a generous sprinkle of cacao nibs
1 scoop Amazing Grass Chocolate Green SuperFood (available by clicking on the picture under ‘My Favorite Products’ on this site)
a drizzle of honey
Blend and enjoy.
Delicious!
When I got to work, I was served up my morning dose of Hungry Girl to find a recipe for a Pumpkin smoothie. I absolutely love the vitamin-packed punch of pumpkin and no doubt it’s delicious in a smoothie but this version suggested loads of processed ingredients like light ice cream, light vanilla soy milk, sugar free vanilla pudding and sugar free vanilla-flavored syrup or Coffee-mate powder. I mention this not to dis Hungry Girl, I love her newsletters and calorie-saving recipes but I love more when real, whole foods are what we nourish ourselves with and surprise — we don’t have to skimp on taste!
Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe made with whole foods?

Love it and LOVE that you give your kids healthy smoothies! MWAH!
Here's what we have most AMs, even the kids!
1c room temp water
1c mixed berries (frozen Dole or Whole Foods)
1 pkt Acai
1 scoop Whey Vanilla Protein powder (whole foods)
1 scoop Green Vibrance
1Tbs ground flax seed
1 Tbs of EFA oil
Sounds delish! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Nice! I was just thinking about what to concoct with a can of pumpkin.
Today's smoothie:
handful of blueberries
3 strawberries
Tbsp mixed nuts & seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, peanuts, pecans)
collard green leaf
the "Vitality smoothie" herbs blend: fresh mint leaves, basil, rosemary, and cilantro
few dashes of ginger (ran out of fresh root)
Tbsp ground flax
1/2 red pear
few dandelion, savoy and chard leaves from the garden
It's a fun experiment every day!
