Mint Chocolate Green Smoothie

I confess. You don’t find a lot of smoothies or shake recipes on this blog. And there’s a reason for that. I kinda suck at making them. #truth There I said it. I’m better at creating a full Thanksgiving spread than I am at making a smoothie. I know what you’re thinking, how can someone suck at making A SMOOTHIE when all you do is add everything to a blender?! Well, hear me out. Every time that I try to make a “healthy” smoothie I find that it’s comprised mostly of fruit (NOT what I”m going for) and it’s the worst mucky color in the world. You know that color, I call it the smoothie-fail-color. A murky mix of blueberries, spinach, strawberries and whatever else I scraped up. I’ve focused on swapping the fruit out and add in veggies to pack in those extra nutrients but I can never seem to get the right combination as the flavor comes out all sorts of wrong. Who knew bell pepper and banana didn’t really mix??

So when I was approached by SunWarrior to try out their Ormuz Super Greens Mix, I was intrigued. In the past, I’ve avoided smoothie supplements as the ingredient list left much to be desired. However, that wasn’t the case with SunWarrior as their list remained nice and clean. I’d be able to make a tasty smoothie with minimal ingredients and all of the nutrients without the funky color and taste? Well, I’ll be.

I was able to try out the “mint” variety and loved it. I decided amp up the mint flavor and create a smoothie that I knew the girls would love and I would feel good about giving them. Because seriously, who doesn’t love mint and chocolate? I wanted to keep this version fairly simple but recently I’ve also added in protein powder, ground flax and some nut butter to make it a complete breakfast for myself. The end result has been a hit with the entire family. It’s smooth and chocolate-y but fresh and minty and the cacao nibs make the girls feel like they’re getting an extra treat (i.e. some sort of chocolate?!) in their breakfasts.

It really does taste like a treat, even for me, and I’ve started looking forward to my mornings and being able to drink it up. Smoothie game ON guys!

Finally, the best part of all of this for YOU (besides an awesome new smoothie recipe of course!) is that you have a chance to win your own to try! Just scroll to the bottom of the recipe and enter to win.

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
