Good Morning Smoothie

 

Susan’s Good Morning Smoothie

 

I’m a big fan of smoothies.
It’s such an easy and yummy way to get down your vitamins and protein
each day. I’ve tried a bunch of different combinations, but this is one my
favorites.  It can be a bit thick  and don’t let the spinach detour
you, the flavor blends right in. Please try it and let me know how y’all like
it.

 

Here’s my Good Morning Smoothie
recipe
:

Ingredients:

 

  • 1 cup of Silk unsweetened soy
    milk
  • 1 Banana – sliced for easier
    blending
  • ½  cup of Strawberries
  • ¼ cup of Blueberries
  • ½  cup of Raw Spinach
  • 1 tablespoon of Omega-3 Flax Seed Oil (I use Spectrum)

 

Directions:

  1. Blend in mixer until smooth.
  2. Enjoy!

Now it’s your
turn………..leave your comments below and cast your vote for Susan’s Good Morning Smoothie.  Have you ever had spinach in a smoothie?  What did you think?  What is your favorite time of day to have a smoothie?   Check back for more competitors next week.
There are going to be more great recipes for you to check out.

    OMG! This is such a wonderful idea! I will definitely stop by Susan's blog to show her some blogger love! I have actually tried spinach in a smoothie. I actually don't love our blender too much because it doesn't grind the flax seeds as much as I want. I want to get the Nutribullet. We will soon. I'm sure! Thanks for sharing. I hope things work out for you Susan! <3

      Thanks for stopping by and placing your vote for Susan. I think a lot of us need to get new blenders. My flax seeds don't grind up much either. They are a lot like strawberry seeds in my smoothie.

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
