​SIMPLE SMOOTHIE FORMULA
 
It’s a perfect ‘all-in-one’ breakfast to start your day and almost anything goes.  Any berries or fruits will do. Frozen is best for a smoother, thick consistency or use a combo of fresh and frozen produce. Spinach is a favorite for it disappears into your blast. Fun alternatives are ½ cup frozen zucchini or cauliflower. It may sound strange, yet you won’t taste it and it adds body and nutrients.

RASPERRY ROSE SMOOTHIE
 
Raspberries are one of my favorite berries and if there are bushes to be picked you will find me there. Most of the time however, I reply on frozen organic berries and am so grateful for the mega sized bags from Costco. You will find them in my smoothies, parfaits, compotes and yes, even truffles. This smoothie is tart with just the right amount of sweet for those of us keeping sugar consumption at bay.

MINT PATTIE SMOOTHIE BOWL
 
Peppermint Patties are reminiscent of my childhood.  The shiny foil wrapped patties bought at the local candy store were only 5 cents. Yes that’s right, a mere nickel.  They were a favorite yet now I have zero desire for such over-refined candy.  A delish home-made smoothie version was needed, so I set out to recreate the cooling, minty sensation and the addictive chocolate crackle of those patties I loved.  I came up with this almost right away. It’s fantastic.

KIWI LIME COCONUT PIE SMOOTHIE

 When breakfast can be this good you're sure to be bounding out of bed and what a super way to start any day, right?  Eager to get up along with eating truly yummy as well as oh-so-good (for you) food. I have a thing for creamy, cooling foods, yes even though I do live with winter seasons.  Paired with a hot beverage, its a perfect combo for me.  This mousse like creation truly is pie like when topped with a little crunch to mimic crust. See below for additional topping ideas and be creative. Food is meant to be fun and fabulous as well as nourishing. Go for it all!

SUPER POWER PEAR SMOOTHIE
 
It’s my favorite way to start the day with a big energy boost. Anticipating the yum in each bite gets me out of bed with ease. Adding to this, knowing I’m giving my body a mega dose of fresh produce and loading up on super foods too. It’s like the best of both worlds. Great tasting, creamy blends and mega benefits of nutrient rich ingredients from greens and fruits to super-seeds and super-foods! What is it you say… why smoothies of course. I am an addict!

MEGA BERRY SMOOTHIE BLAST
 
A thick and creamy smoothie is my preference and adding extras to make it as health infused as possible, always my aim. Then its toppings… this is always so important. Along with eating your food over drinking, it’s preferred for better digestion and satiety so make your smoothie thick. Adding a variety of textures on top of the smoothie make it all the better.

TART GREEN APPLE GOODNESS
 
This smoothie has fabulous sass with the addition of lime juice and a nice twist of spike with ginger and nutmeg. Besides tasting great, it’s a fabulous diuretic, helps with cancer prevention, reduces inflammation and may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
Smoothies are a perfect way of starting your day with 3 or more servings of produce.

Topping it with pineapple or papaya adds to the anti-inflammatory power and eating your smoothies instead of drinking them is much better for digestion and satiety. Plus, its rather like having a sundae or a parfait making eating healthy that much easier.

RED VELVET CHOCOLATE SMOOTHIE

Do you have addictive tendencies?  I mean really, are there any must-haves in your dietary regime?  Come on now- it’s confession time and yes, I’ll go first.
My addiction is smoothies.  As much as I advise my clients on the importance of variety I almost always default to a smoothie at breakfast for it’s a perfect way to power-pack my body with numerous nutrients including both veggies and fruits.  And then of course there is that dessert-like aspect.   It’s like having an ice cream (vegan of course) sundae every day with all the various toppings we choose to garnish our creation with.

PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE  

There is divine deliciousness in this protein and anti-oxidant rich power smoothie and its perfect pre/post workout or just about any ole time. Besides being nutrient dense and super easy to make, pumpkin boasts pre-biotic power and the spices including ginger and cinnamon are ideal for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. If you don’t want a green smoothie use romaine instead of dark leafy greens. Or give frozen cauliflower a whirl. Subbing in 1/2 cup instead of the greens or along with them makes from a wonderfully mousse-like creation.
