Green Tea Blueberry Smoothie


I had no intention of sharing this smoothie. I mean, it's hideous. 
And, this is my first one experimenting with Matcha Powder.  
I planned on making a couple more with it before I shared one. 
But, then I tasted it. This thing is amazing! I mean A-MAZE-ING! 

May favorite Starbucks Frappuccino is the Green Tea Smoothie with a tiny bit of peppermint syrup in it.
 My new goal is to figure out a way to make a healthy version of it. 

But until then...
This may be my new favorite smoothie. 



GREEN TEA BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE:
makes approximately 4 cups

1 1/2 cups blueberries (frozen or fresh)
1 cup spinach
1 frozen banana
1 1/2 - 2 cups coconut milk (or almond)
2 teaspoons matcha powder
1-2 tablespoons honey (or whatever sweetener you prefer)

Combine everything in a blender and blend until all produce is broken up and has a milkshake like consistency. Drink immediately or chill until ready.

Sunshine Smoothie




 We started today with another yummy concoction. It looks like a lot of ingredients but in all actually it isn't. Lee came home with a gigantic bag of frozen fruit mix from the grocery store because it is perfect for my smoothie addiction. It is a mix of pineapple, strawberry, mango and peach. I made a  huge smoothie, as you can tell from the picture, for my breakfast and lunch today plus I had enough for Caleb to have a small smoothie with his breakfast.

 I find that carrots are a fairly strong flavor so I like to combine them with orange. They compliment each other in flavor and color which matters when getting kids to drink it. I know that Caleb refuses to drink anything that has muddy colors but he will drink anything with bright vibrant colors. 

Sunshine Smoothie

makes 2.5 servings
2-3 Blood  oranges, juiced
2 carrots, juiced
1 cup of frozen fruit mix
1/2 frozen banana  
Blend all ingredients and enjoy!
