Fun at the Dallas Zoo!
This momma needs her energy to keep up with two little ones, care for the home and minister to others.
If I don't start the day by eating something with lots of protein and fiber, I'm HUNGRY by 10am! That's a little early for lunch :o) A bowl of cereal for breakfast doesn't cut it anymore.
I have to say... I'm a bit of a smoothie snob. I'm picky! It has to taste good and be thick! One job that I really enjoyed during high school was working at Zumba Juice (before it became Jamba Juice). Making smoothies at home reminds me of all the fun I had and my experience has helped me know the combinations that I enjoy best.
Hope to try some tropical combos this summer... mango, pineapple, and peach (maybe not all in the same drink).
Here are a few favorite smoothies that I enjoy!
Cool and refreshing... and filling too!
Blue-Bana-Berry Smoothie
3-4 lrg. ice cubes
1 cup milk
1 frozen, chopped banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 packet Acai + Acerola Puree (found this at Sprouts - a local natural food store)
1/2 cup raw oatmeal
2 Tb ground flax seed
1 Tb honey
PB Bana Blast ready to spin!
PB Banana Blast
3-4 lrg. ice cubes

Good for Momma and Jo Jo too!
Food for the soul:
"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of
God."
1 Corinthians 10:31
Hope you will share some of your favorite smoothies with me too - could use a few new ideas!
Have a blessed, safe weekend,

Hey, we use the same sippy cups with straws for the little nut's smoothies; they work great! Loved your idea of using oatmeal and I also love to mix in spinach and flax seed. Blackcaps are a common addition as they are healthy and plentiful on the farm. Cold cereal just makes us hungry as well. Love you!

How funny... great mommas think alike! Enjoy those fresh berries, I miss Oregon berries so much.
