Healthy Smoothies!!

The Nutribullet has been a lifesaver for me for my daily breakfast. I started drinking vegetables that I didn't think I would ever mix into a smoothie! If you don't already have one, I suggest you go out there and purchase one. You will not regret it, I promise!

Some of the different types of smoothies I enjoy making are;

Strawberries, blueberries, banana and kale.

Strawberries, blueberries, kale, crushed almonds or flax seeds

Strawberries, grapes, mixed greens

Blueberries, kale, mixed greens, crushed almond or chia seed

1 Banana and 2 tsps of organic peanut butter or almond butter

I usually like to measure everything out, using my own judgement. This way, I can add more of what I want to taste versus what I want to taste less, yet still receive the same amount of nutrients that my body needs.

The great thing about this product is that it comes with 2 small measuring/traveling cups, and one large one. All you do is add water once you are done putting all of your ingredients in, and there you have it...a healthy and nutritious smoothie with lots of protein and vitamins! It will also fill you up nicely until it is time for lunch. Sometimes, I also like to add a little bit of almond milk after adding water to my drink.

You can obviously use a regular blender as well to make these types of smoothies, but they don't come with a separate blade just for crushing your almonds, walnuts, flax seeds, etc.
