The fabulous world as I see it...

30 Day Smoothie Challenge!



Smoothies are an excellent source of energy and nutrition especially for people always on the go like me. Buying these power packed purees while out can really add up! The DIY Princess in me always wanted to try making my own smoothies at home but I dreaded the thought of pulling my bulky blender  out everyday.

So I'm searching the internet one day (I have no idea what I was looking for but I can bet you it wasn't a Nutribullet *side eye*); anyway, I came across a very well priced version of the personal sized blender and decided to give it a try. I debated on wether or not I wanted to buy the Nutribullet but the price was a little to steep for me to spend on something that I barely knew how to use.


                                                        You can find them here and here

By the time I get my little London up, dressed, fed, changed, and down for a nap, its already 1pm and mommy has missed breakfast AND almost lunch. There were times where I'd literally forget to eat; no breakfast, no lunch, and maybe dinner, but then thats not too healthy is it? To stay in shape I definitely need to stay healthy! So, instead of skipping meals all together I decided to find a way to condense them. 

I've done my research and found a plethora of recipes both nutritious and tasty. All ingredients are super affordable and interchangeable. There's a smoothie for pretty much everything, energy, stress,  sleep, breakfast, all types of flavors, the possibilities are endless! For the next 30 days I will be finding and posting new smoothie recipes and letting you know which ones are worth trying. 

My General Recipe:

* Yogurt (my favs are vanilla and toasted coconut)
* Fruit (frozen and fresh)
* Vegetables (mostly spinach and kale)
* Honey (just because its an awesome natural low calorie sweetener)
* Ice (optional, can substitute for frozen fruit)
* Liquid
        - Orange Juice
        - Apple Juice
        - Coconut Milk
        - Almond Milk
        - Soy Milk



 Stay Tuned!

  1. My favorite smoothie is one that i used pineapple and mango with greens. I use the power greens from costco which has kale, chard and spinach. I put a whole mango, about 2 cups of pineapple, and a few tablespoons of lemon juice. It's absolutely delicious! My 10 year old brother even likes it! I gotta try one with yogurt sometime!
