Iced Green Tea with Mint
Nothing hits the spot on a hot summer day like some sweet iced tea. This take on traditional iced tea uses fresh ingredients, and as an added bonus, there is no white sugar, just a bit of agave nectar. When I first prepared this, I didn’t think I would like mint added to my tea, [...]
Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
I love, love, love peanut butter and banana! I think I mentioned in a previous post that I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I also love smoothies. So when I found this peanut butter and banana smoothie recipe, I thought, “Oh, this will be heaven!” And it is.
This recipe is actually one adapted [...]
Very Berry Smoothie
This Very Berry Smoothie is not only delicious but chock full of energy boosting nutrients. I try to drink one of these at least twice a week to get my morning off to a good start. You can use frozen strawberries and raspberries in this, which is what I do in the winter, but if [...]
Strawberry Orange Smoothie
With strawberries in season, it’s a great time to buy some fresh strawberries and use them in a smoothie. Of course you can use frozen in this smoothie recipe, but a smoothie in which I use fresh strawberries always tastes so much better to me than when I use frozen. I typically save the frozen [...]
Maple Blueberry Smoothie
This variation of a blueberry smoothie reminds me of blueberry pancakes. It’s the right amount of sweet and there is just a hint of maple syrup.
For those watching their calories, this blueberry smoothie should probably be considered a mini-meal since it contains: 276 calories per 8-ounce serving, 7 grams of protein, 55 grams of carbs, [...]
Clean and Healthy Hot Chocolate
There is nothing better on a cold winter day (like today) than a cup of hot chocolate. I had actually given up on hot chocolate, even though it’s one of my favorite beverages, because I didn’t think there were any clean variations out there, and if there were, the hot chocolate probably wouldn’t taste [...]
Banana Oat Smoothie
Next to strawberries, bananas are one of my favorite fruits and I typically eat at least one banana a day. Packed with vitamins and nutrients, bananas are a great source of Vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. This Banana Oat Smoothie packs a powerful protein punch with 14.7 [...]
Pumpkin Smoothie
Since I’m putting an effort into eating a lot of foods that will boost my immunity, I’ve had to go in search of some new recipes to add to my collection. I have tons of cookbooks that have just been gathering dust for the past year or so that I brought out yesterday morning and [...]
Chocolate PB & Banana Smoothie
I made this a couple days ago and almost felt guilty drinking it! It’s very rich, filling and great if you’re craving something sweet.
Ingredients
8 oz fat-free milk or soy milk
1 very ripe banana
1 TBS natural peanut butter
1 serving chocolate protein powder (according to the directions of your brand)
Place all ingredients in a blender and mix [...]
Vanilla Blackberry Smoothie
This smoothie is perfect clean eating smoothie. Lots of vitamins and protein!
I have to say that out of all the smoothies I’ve made (and I’ve made a lot of ‘em!), this one is the best. It tastes like cake batter – yum! I try to use fresh fruit when in season, but if I [...]
