Summertime Smoothies
I do not own a juicer... I really want one and hope to get one at some point... but, it is not on the priority list at this point... I think a juicer would be great to lead us to being a bit more healthy.
I received a few different smoothie recipes and I just wanted to share, in case this was something that might interest you...
These were obviously for St. Paddy's Day... but, fun bright green color mixed with cool names?
KIDS WILL LOVE THEM whenever!!!!

DO YOU HAVE ANY SMOOTHIE RECIPES YOU WANT TO SHARE?
I received these recipes from OMEGA juicers... I have never worked with them, although I would love to... This is not a sponsored post, just me wanting to share these smoothies with you!
I don't think I've ever followed a recipe. I just wing it with what I have at home, but saying that, I don't really think to make them that often.
ReplyDeleteI have a juicer and love it. Well I take that back, I loved it. It's just juicing on my counter lately.
ReplyDeleteI like spinach and apple. It tastes really good. Then I use the pulp for an Italian dish. I have a lot of other combinations of things I like to.
