Sweet tart

This chick has been researching apple cider vinegar. So many reasons to use this product. I’m convinced it will soon cure cancer. It’s got great health benefits.

Low and behold…it can be added to smoothies. Go easy. We’re talking 1 tablespoon or less. It adds zip to your drink, so be prepared.

This chick’s am smoothie
1 cup vanilla coconut water
2 cups spinach
1 cup broccoli
1 cup strawberries
1/2 pineapple
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Blend and enjoy.

Fresh, Lite and Colorful

I found a few random pieces of fruit in the crisper this morning and didn’t want anything to go to waste, so it all went in the blender. With no real expectations of this smoothie, it did end up tasting really good.

Kiwi, blackberries, strawberries, spinach, water

Taste = Tart

Texture= smooth and thin

What it need for next time = add banana or almond butter to help reduce the tartness

Easy as ABC

For the last 2 weeks all my smoothies have been filled with completely fresh produce. They have been light and refreshing. This week I decided I would switch to using frozen fruit in the smoothies.

Still Chugging

Finally after 2 weeks I have internet again! Blogging had to be sidelined, but smoothie drinking did not.

“A little bit of everything”

coconut water

blackberries

IMG_2140

strawberries

banana

IMG_2145

spinach

hemp protein powder

Taste = very nutty due to the hemp protein

Texture= THICK! So thick, but good. Grainy due too much protein powder

What it need for next time = add less protein powder.
