Juggling Real Food and Real Life Presents………Little Family Adventure’s Tropical Smoothie

Our last finalist in this years Juggling Real Food and Real Life Smoothie Competition is Nicky from Little Family Adventure.  She is one of my best blogging friends and someone I often turn to for both food and blogging advice.  Yes, it’s true.  I begged her to give me a recipe for this year’s smoothie competition.  She has wonderful recipes over on her blog Little Family Adventure. The recipes often have an international flair to them and I just can’t get enough of her Poppy Seed dressing.  You have got to try it! She has to be sick of me talking about it all of the time.  Take a look at her smoothie recipe below and then head over to Little Family Adventure for food, travel, and lots of fun. 

Nicky from Little Family Adventure

 

Now, here is Nicky……………


Nicky, at Little Family Adventure, is a wife, homeschooling mom of 3, cook, and blogger.  Her family is dedicated to eating fresh, local, and organic food. They refuse to use any heavily processed foods and choose to cook from scratch. She knows that cooking like this takes a bit more work to cook this way, but she says her family’s health is worth it.

Her husband served 20 years in the US military. They have lived on both the east and west coasts, as well as a few places in between. She can usually be found gardening, reading, cooking, or planning their next vacation or trip. They love to travel and expose their children to different places and people. They live by the motto “Sometimes the best things in life are the most unexpected”. For her, the fun is in the journey.

🎉 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!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
