my family has drank more smoothies in the last few weeks than i can count! thank goodness for costco! i have been pretty addicted to boba for awhile now, always craving my favorite avocado smoothie with boba. i finally decided to start making my own instead of forking out $5 a drink! yay! but of course, i had to mix it up a bit.
banana, oatmeal, flaxseed, peanut butter, almond milk. i loved. the family did not. ahhh adding the recipes in now and see she called it milkshake, which seems more sinful than a smoothie! hahah. here's the link.
then i had to try one of the green smoothies i've heard so many raves about. kale, spinach, pear, almond milk. i swear i have more energy in the day when i drink one of these. this is the recipe i first tried here. since then i've tweaked it since i ran out of pears, so without pears and without the honey- i use agave nectar. and i also add a tablespoon of trader joes organic vanilla yogurt, just to cut the leafyness of it all. and because i am obsessed with that yogurt, being a anti dairy person myself, that's a pretty big thing.
next up, one of my top faves: blackberry, vanilla yogurt, almond milk and CINNAMON. heaven! one of elsie's faves too! here's the recipe for this one here.
and last, the whole reason i got on this kick: avocado, milk and sugar. doesn't get any better than this! eta the recipe, i just eyeball it. a cup of milk and half an avocado and a tsp agave nectar and ice.
and a few shots of the whole reason i am drink obsessed now:
this one is next on my list!
Wow! They all look tasty. Great way to sneak in veggies or vitamins into our kids!
