Smoothie

Since I have learned about Amaranth and the benefits we have been using in many recipes including our smoothies. 

I love using my Ninja blender!  I will be making this smoothie on Better Connecticut, Thursday, February 26th (my son Steven's birthday) and one lucky audience guest will be going home with one!  How exciting is that..   I just love giveaways...

My Creamy Banana Strawberry Split Smoothie is filled with protein and chia seeds for a great healthy drink!  You can even top with a cherry before you enjoy!  I think I will just do that.

I always have a frozen banana in my freezer along with frozen fruit.  We have an ice cream place right down the street from our lake house and I decided to make this smoothie to enjoy in the heat...

BTW - My sister Annmarie gave me these adorable jars on a stand! They are perfect for my smoothies! And perhaps other drinks as well.. Thanks Annie.. xo

I recently had a custard milkshake and was inspired to make this shake!  I am in love with it...  I couldn't find custard powder but was able to order on ~

I love my protein shakes and was at our local natural store and found bone broth protein and went on his website and I am really enjoying in my daily smoothies.

I am sure custard power is not paleo but I don't care!

PS I have also made this by adding in a few frozen blueberries!

Today, Monday, March 8th I am starting the 20 pounds in 7 week challenge at M.E.L.T.  I am using the M.E.L.T. 30 Green.

I will be sharing my journey in a blog post soon and talk about why I am doing this challenge and what it means to  me!

Joe recommends Fage Greek yogurt but I am dairy free and use So Delicious!

I am addicted to So Delicious Dairy Free ice cream! 

My summer fruit smoothies are a perfect afternoon treat on a hot summer day. This smoothie is combined with a blast of natural flavors that are healthy for you! Cool off with my summer fruit smoothie!

Enjoy!
