I was inspired to make today’s blueberry maqui madness smoothie after a recent trip to Portland’s Kiva Tea Bar and Spa. We were delighted to receive a sample smoothie using Navita Naturals freeze-dried maqui berry powder. What is a maqui berry? Maqui berries are native to Chile and offer innumerable antioxidants. “The berries are particularly …
Today I wanted to share a smoothie with you I’ve been enjoying the last few days. A cranberry relish protein smoothie! I made an awesome mostly raw (depends on what you think of jarred ‘just apples’ applesauce) cranberry relish tuesday night and besides eating the leftovers, I have loved adding to my morning smoothie. …
I made this apple pie protein smoothie the other day and it was super simple and reminiscent of a sweet slice of apple pie with ice cream. Seemed like a good way to start the day to me! Running out of bananas is sometimes a good thing because it had me scouring the fridge in search of …
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a snack-spiration so I’m happy to share one that is steeped in summer berries and comforting almond milk. Eating fruit in almond milk like a bowl of cereal isn’t unique to this post, I shared a blueberry banana bowl last year but it is so good and the flavor …
I’ve tried loads of green powders over the last few years and I find them all hard to choke down, whether I take a quick shot mixed in oj, have a chaser, or blend it in a huge green smoothie full of fruit. Those are almost the worse because not only can you taste the …

I’m not going to lie, I’ve enjoyed this Double Banana Nog Smoothie more than a few times this week. It’s great for breakfast and especially as a late night snack when you’re craving dessert. This love contains bananas as well as banana squash. If you haven’t heard of banana squash, be sure to check out …
Because you can. I’m giving you permission. This makes a perfect blender batch for 1 person. If you’re feeding 2 mouths, just run the blender twice, like I did. I really don’t think any more needs to be said. No one needs twisting their arm when it comes to chocolate shakes. Make sure you check …
This was our dinner last night and it was filling and delicious. I’m sharing the recipe for the potatoes because they were out of this world good and the soup was good but not amazing. The soup was basically fresh chopped carrots, onion, lots of ginger, turmeric, coriander, garlic, and hot ‘tea’ water blended in the …
I mean all my smoothies are large, but this one seemed even more valiant than others. It was super sweet, super tasty, and super green; these are just a few of the attributes I find essential in my green smoothies. Since this will hold me over until my early dinner, check out the nutritional stack …
