Our sunshine, Jonathan declared that he was going to make the green smoothie this morning. He claimed: “This is my very special cherry smoothie. It’s kinda like mommy’s but different. You are going to love it.” We did, and I think you will too.

RECIPE

1/2 c Water in the container
1 TBS “cha-cha-chia” (chia seeds)
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup coconut milk
“2 handfuls of spinach for ya” (2 cups)

Blended up in the Vitamix with the tamper and served to make 2 fantastic 12 oz servings!

Day #12:

He did it again and even better. Jonathan was the creator of today’s green breakfast. With great honor he named it “My Special Daddy Love Smoothie”

RECIPE

1 cup water
1 TBS chia seed
1 fuji apple
1 TBS hemp seed
~ 3/4 cup coconut milk
2 cups spinach

Blend it up.

Day #13
Green Morning Sunshine Green Smoothie Recipe

1 TBS Hemp Seed
1/2 fresh Mango
1 cup fresh Pineapple
4 leaves Lacinato Kale
4 leaves Romaine
2 cups Spinach
1 tsp Spirulina
water to blend

Super creamy and powerfully good! There’s no banana but the mango, romaine and hemp seed make this a creamy delight while the lacinato kale and spirulina give it a rich green flavor. Feel free to use different kale for a milder green flavor, or use more romaine/spinach in it’s place.

Day #14
Blueberry Hemp Goddess

2 cups Frozen Blueberries
1 Banana
2 cups Kale leaves
2 TBS Hemp Seed
Water

This blended beauty is delicious. The blueberries are a great combo for the Kale and Hemp. The result – a sweet rich green smoothie with nutty flavor!
