i blend this up every morning, pour it in our blender bottles, and off to work we go!
bottling it up in a shaker bottle, and drinking it on the way to work. it has become
a staple in our daily breakfast, to the point where i can't live without it.
during trips or on days when we can't make it, i don't feel the same! ^^

that sounds like a very healthy breakfast. are those the proportions you use for two smoothies? where did you get your blender bottles?
ReplyDeletehi! yep, i split that into 2 smoothies, but i could drink it all myself because it's so good haha. we got our blender bottles just at bed bath & beyond because i randomly saw them there, but i see them for sale at the gym, grocery stores, all over! you could also definitely order them online. we love them! xo
DeleteGreen smoothies are becoming my fav drink! I love how you add a carrot.

What kind of blender are you using/ I'm concerned my run of the mill blender won't take kindly to a carrot!
ReplyDeleteyou're right! i didn't mention we are lucky to have the best blender in the world, a blendtec. we got it as a wedding gift, but i really recommend it! it blends everything! if you're worried, chop up the carrots into small pieces maybe and run it a few times? xoxo
DeleteI love green smoothies! Any tips to make them thicker? I've found that since I cut out yogurt in mine, they seem a little watery
ReplyDeleteyes! i cut out greek yogurt too, so i put a bunch of ice cubes and oatmeal to make them thicker. i also occasionally add unsweetened applesauce to add that texture! hope that helps! we love when they are thicker too! XO
Deleteit wouldn't let me watch your video right now :( i'll have to try again later. anyway, that all sounds yum! i'm usually a fruit smoothie maker/drinker, with some spinach snuck in cuz Jae is picky about spinach, but i'll have to try the all-green take :) thanks dear! xo.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That is one healthy smoothie! Like a days worth of fruits and veggies! My smoothies are really simple and not nearly as healthy - I just throw in 5-6 strawberries, a banana, and greek yogurt and call it a day! I'm not up for adding veggies to mine yet!
ReplyDeletehaha with all the good fruit, you can hardly taste the veggies-- try it out! trust me!
DeleteLeafy greens are not my friend, so no green smoothies for me. I'm not a huge smoothie person in general, but I'm more about plain ole fruit smoothies.
ReplyDeletegreen smoothies have been a favorite of mine for dinner lately! fills me up and it great even late at night! i put banana, spinach, chia seeds, whey protein, yogurt, a bit of water and some strawberries in mine! delicious!
ReplyDeletefor dinner--nice! you are so healthy! XO
DeleteI'm pretty much a green smoothie-aholic. Thanks for the yummy dessert smoothie option! My FAVORITE smoothie lately has been spinach, grapefruit, blueberries, strawberries, banana, chia seeds, banana, kiwi, and a dash of coconut water. YUM!

YUM! i love the idea of grapefruit in it, i'll have to try it! xo
Deletei loooove green smoothies. i just wish the blender would wash itself. :)
ReplyDeleteEm, have you tried juicing at all? It seems like you would love it.
ReplyDeleteThough, it is a LOT more cleanup than a blender.
DeleteThis is my breakfast too. Great tip with the oatmeal!
ReplyDeleteInteresting article. Nonetheless I must claim you might generate monies this blog to help generate much exposure.

So yummy. Sometimes we put beets or beet greens in ours if we have them from the garden. Very strong but I kind of like the earthy taste. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog somewhat randomly and am so glad I did! I've looked everywhere for a super food recipe that didn't require spirulina or a bunch of strange stuff I don't have on hand, and I'm off to the kitchen to try this this very minute!
