Berry Green Smoothie
Make-ahead freezer friendly smoothies that are healthy, nutritious and so refreshing for your mornings!
Ever since I started to work from home, I need every excuse to get out of the house into the real world. That’s when I started to walk down the street to Starbucks and the donut store for a morning treat before I start my work day. But obviously the donut calories are not doing me any kind of justice. So with bikini season right around the corner, I decided to change up my morning routine with a healthy green smoothie.
But instead of having a green-green smoothie, I decided to throw in some frozen berries that I had on hand. Now I love all kinds of berries but I’ve found that blueberries and raspberries make a great flavor combo. Plus, you’ll get that extra antioxidant boost! From there, I also added in a banana for some natural sweetness and old fashioned oats to keep you nice and full until lunch time.
You can also freeze individual smoothie packs in a Ziploc bag using your favorite combination of fruits. You can have a different smoothie every day, and it doesn’t get easier than throwing everything straight from the Ziploc bag to the blender! There’s absolutely no thawing needed. All you need to is add your milk and oats when you’re ready to blend. Super easy, right?

The first thing I would make would be this apple pie inspired smoothie that I found on pinterest. It’s good for you and it tastes like apple pie in a cup! http://www.fitsugar.com/Harley-Pasternak-Breakfast-Smoothie-Recipe-25151750
I would definitely make this Berry Green Smoothie, it looks delicious!
Smoothie!
First thing i would do is spend the day admiring the blender on the counter!! Then I would start making smoothies for the family. Soon after that my son would start making his protein shakes.Its endless.
Thanks for the great opportunity!
Oh! Would love to make your smoothie recipe with this fine machine!!
I love making homemade pasta sauces! I’m due for a new blender so this would be fabulous!
Berry Green Smoothie would be the first thing I would try to make. Thank you for this lovely giveaway!
I would definitely make a smoothie first. My kids LOVE green smoothies, but my poor blender is on its last leg!
Ooh!!!! Great giveaway, great smoothie!! I’d make a salad dressing for sure – one of my favorite things to make with a blender!
A chocolate avocado protein smoothie.
I love this one now! I just started making the chocolate/avocado mix and it’s great! I’m using raw cacao for the chocolate (recipe on mynewroots.com).
I would make chocolate milkshakes for my kids and a mango smoothie for myself.
I’d make space in my cabinet (donating the wornout oster I already have that no longer mixes anything but liquid ingredients–I know it needs to go but I’ve not been ready to commit to the purchase so this is perfect). Then I’d get busy with some copy-cat Panera mango (for my son) and black cherry (my fave that was discontinued recently) smoothies. YUM!
I would make a smoothie full of antioxidants with carrots, kale, and an apple, orange, blueberries, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk.
I would make a smoothie full of antioxidants from veggies like carrots and kale, combined with an apple, orange, blueberries, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk.
My favorite afternoon snack is a smoothie with banana, strawberry, and some plain greek yogurt!
