Shake it Up

Recently, both Julianna and I have been getting into smoothies. Not only are smoothies delicious and so good for you, but they are also super easy to make. To be quite honest, the thought of drinking this green juice did not sound particularly appealing to me at first, however when I tried one it actually was not half bad! Today, I am sharing two of my favorite combinations.

Tips
  • Freeze the kale and spinach, it makes it easier to blend, keeps the drink cold and makes the taste a little less strong
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, it makes the smoothie thicker and is much more healthy 
Smoothie 1- Greens, Peaches and Banana


What you will need
Orange Juice
Greek Yogurt
Protein Powder
1 Banana
Peaches
Kale
Spinnach

This smoothie is loaded with protein, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Potassium and Iron 

Smoothie 2- Blueberry Banana
If you are not ready to take on the green smoothie than this is the one for you. Although there is still kale in this drink, the blueberries get rid of the green color and add some sweetness. Spinach has a much more distinct taste, by removing this you eliminate that "vegetable taste". 


What you will need
Orange Juice
Greek Yogurt
Kale
Blueberries 
1 Banana 


We have the Ninja Blender which is awesome because it has single serve cups. I feel like when ever we made drinks in the past we would end up throwing a ton away, but with this you can make the perfect amount for you. 

Leave a comment below about your favorite smoothie combinations, we would love some more ideas!
