This smoothie is a just delicious. Berries are oh, so good for you and nothing beats a fruit smoothie on a warm day. This smoothie packs a punch of health nuggets such as: Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 and B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. Minerals include Manganese, Potassium, Copper and more. And don’t forget antioxidants. This smoothie brings you plenty of those.

Berries are on the expensive side and I would love to say that I only buy the fresh and organic kind. But I can’t afford the organic ones.

Ouch. Or the fresh ones.

Double ouch.

Coconut milk is such an underrated product. I heart it. Big time. It’s got good fats and it’s a nice break from dairy products. Anyway this smoothie tastes great and gives me a great boost of energy.

Drop it like it’s hot (in your blender) and liquidfy.… Read the rest

This smoothie tastes great and I put in some raw egg for added protein. You, of course, can leave that out, it’s just something I like to do. Also, I only use organic farm raised eggs. I’m lucky enough to have an egg lady that I can get fresh ones from but you can also find organic farm raised brands in the supermarket. I know Milos Organic Eggs are a good one to use.

1 Cup Vanilla Yogurt
2 Organic Farm Raised Eggs
1 Cup frozen Blueberries
1 Orange
1.5 Cups of Pineapple — chopped

Drop all this in your … Read the rest

Not enough can be said about Blue Sky. They make Natural soda, Organic Soda, Diet soda and more.  I’m not too into the diet ones, they have little flavor, but I do like their Natural and Organic ones.  This new one I tried is called Orange Divine.  When I was a little kid I used to LOVE grape soda and orange soda.  Don’t ask me why, I was a gross kid.  Well, it’s a good thing that Blue Sky has taken it upon themselves to make me my grape and orange soda but in a better way.  Better … Read the rest

My new blender has been ordered, so it’s just a few more days until I don’t have to make my smoothie’s the poor man’s way! Hooray! But until then… here’s another yummy and easy to make smoothie.  For the fruit, I just used my Omega 8006 juicer to make it liquid and then I added it to my vanilla yogurt and stirred vigorously.  It was THAT easy.  Or, if you don’t have any fruit, simply use orange juice and pineapple juice and viola, you’re as good as gold — although it’s more healthy to use real fruit

A smoothie was in order; I needed a little pick me up.  But, woe is me, my blender is broken.  So I decided to improvise.  I used my Omega 8006 Juicer. I juiced all my fruits and then stirred in, vigorously I might add, the vanilla yogurt until it was nice a creamy.  It tasted awesomely tart and was perfect for my much needed afternoon snack.  Keep in mind that since I used my juicer, NONE of the fruits were frozen.  Frozen stuff doesn’t juice correctly!

6 oz of Blackberries
6 oz of Pineapple
