I’ve been waiting for a regular person to make logical smoothies with frozen fruit for months now. A simple YouTube search always led me to the cutest buff 20-something people in their workout gear and good abs talking to me about kale and chia seeds.
And I like kale and chia seeds. And I like buff 20-somethings.
But this 42 year old busy mother of 2 needs logical, nourishing recipes my family will enjoy and I won’t have to fuss too hard to make. Healthy smoothies are the key to transitioning your family away from breakfasts of pancakes, muffins, and cereal and on to fats that keep their blood sugar stable all day!
Here are the ingredients for the three we’re making today and the links to the products I recommend. **Remember collagen, dairy free yogurt, dairy free milk, orange juice, and natural sweeteners can all be used in any of these recipes.
