The Best Smoothie Recipes

October 10, 2013

While pregnant with Little Maus, every morning I would waddle myself over to the Loop Juice in The French Market. Craving everything fresh and healthy, one day the owner asked me if I wanted to dip my toes into the green smoothie waters. I hesitated at first, but he assured me it wasn’t too earthy and suggested a couple of chunks of mango sweeten the deal. Slowly drawing the straw to my lips, I was pleasantly surprised this crazy concoction did not taste like grass. in fact, it was quite delicious! My trips to loop juice became a morning ritual until 2 weeks before my due date I was told by my doctor that she was putting me on bed rest.

Perfect Smoothie Recipe

I returned to work after almost 4 months of maternity leave and immediately started to feel overwhelmed with work life and daily life. Trying to find balance after baby, I became run down, tired, cranky, forgetful, and stressed to the max. My weight loss had plateaued, and I was downright frustrated with everything and everyone, including myself. A complete lifestyle change needed to be made and the only person that could make that change was me. Not knowing where to start, I thought back to my morning walk to The French Market. I needed to put breakfast back into my life. Little did I know, this would be the (small) first step of many to my new healthier self.

I dug through the cabinets, pulled out our old blender, and added ingredients and fruit I thought would be yummy. plop, plop, plop into the cup it went…hmmm, this was a lot chunkier than expected. The first sip was spit out immediately…yuckers! Dear Lord, what was this garbage? It was completely awful! Ok, family adventure to find a new blender was in order! Look out visa card, here comes a big fat charge for the fancy pants Vitamix blender! Let me tell ya, this thing churns out chunk-free smoothies like nobody’s business! Seriously, this thing is amazing and super easy to clean. I was a bit reluctant since you cannot wash the Vitamix in the dishwasher, but the saleswoman taught me THE secret. Rinse it out, fill it with hot water, add a drop of dawn, and blend. Shiny and new in under 2 minutes! Now you are in the know as well.

Green Smoothie Recipe

I’ve blended many different versions of the morning smoothie. the green monster seems to be the one I always come back to. even the boy has been requesting them. Woah, that is a feat! I’ve found it beneficial to add lemon juice to all of my green drinks, and always remove the stems from your kale. It will help with the bitterness. I’m not a big fan of bananas but have managed just fine without them. Recently, I was told by my acupuncturist to add protein into my morning smoothies to cut down on 10 am hunger attacks. I never have an exact recipe…I just eyeball it. But here are some of my morning favorites.

I started decorating Zozo’s bedroom but never finished. Since, she’s decided she no longer likes pink. “Mom, can I get a blue bed?” @jcpenney helped me find a comprise that was not only blue but also affordable and very much this little lady’s bohemian’s style. The bedding and pillows are all from the new Distant Lands Collection. She’s obsessed with the tiger print pillow and the tassels. Side note, she is not a top sheet gal which I’ve been hearing more and more people talk about this. Do you sleep with a top sheet or no? Inquiring minds what to know. SPONSORED

SWIPE 👆🏻 Finally loving the living room again. Although I’m still missing the built ins. I shopped the @serenaandlily sale for that tray and blanket - there’s a whole round up of favorites over on HouseOfHipsters.com - and I love how the blanket balances out the green chair and the tray softens the black coffee table. What do you think of the new look? #liketkit #LTKhome #LTKsalealert @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/3G7VE
