Rainbow Smoothie

What starts out looking like a Rainbow and ends up looking like a delicious Mudpuddle? A Rainbow Smoothie of course!

The Deets
2 Stalks Rainbow Chard
1 Banana
1 Cup Blueberries
4-5 Strawberries
3/4 Cup Low Fat Plain Yogurt (you can use Vanilla - but omit the Honey)
1 Cup Ice
1 tsp Creamed Honey

The How To
Clean & Prep your Fruits & Veggies (remember everything that you toss in the blender gets blended - things don't get filtered out like the juicer)
Roughly Chop Chard, and Banana
Add Ice to Blender
Add all other Ingredients
Blend Away!
Enjoy your delicious, nutritious smoothie!

Mean Green Smoothie just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

Sometimes I have visions of grandeur when it comes to healthy eating. Usually my healthy ideas taste fantastic, but sometimes it's a miss...I won't say epic failure, but only because I can usually turn an epic failure into a "not too bad" or even a "pretty good".  Let me share the smoothie that almost became an epic failure.
The Mean Green Smoothie
4 Leaves of Kale {Next time I'll only use 2}
1 cup Yogurt (Stonyfield organic - usually I use plain but I was out)
1 Banana
1 Orange
1 Kiwi
1/4 Cup Milk
This is how I started the Mean Green Smoothie - Not so good. 
So, I added the following:
1/2 Cup Black Berries
1/2 Cup Strawberries
1 Orange
1 Kiwi
Makes 4 Smoothies
Much Better!  It still tastes a little too healthy, but it's well worth it.  Think of all those vitamins & fiber!
Enjoy your Mean Green Smoothie. 
It's a great start to help you Attack your Day!
