Chocolate Mint Smoothie Bowl

  Yesterday before the snow storm hit I went to the store to get supplies for the week.  They had just  gotten a shipment of fresh herbs.  One of the containers stood out to me so I picked it up and put it in my cart.  Mind you I had no idea what I was going to do with a Chocolate mint plant during a snow storm, but I felt the need to have it.  This morning I got up and decided to make a smoothie bowl using some of the chocolate mint plant.  Here is the recipe.  Did I mention that I LOVE CHOCOLATE:)   

Ingredients:

1 handful of chocolate mint greens
1 handful of kale
1 tablespoons of Barlean's swirl Omega oil (Chocolate mint flavor)
1 frozen banana
1 scoop of Amazing Grasses Brand Wheatgrass
1 teaspoon Spirulina
1 cup ice cubes

Method:

Blend on high in a Vita-mix and serve!  Decorate how you wish.  I used Dark Chocolate chunks, bananas and chocolate mint leaves.

Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl

You have to want to get your Greens in to enjoy this one.  Another bowl packed full of SUPER GREENS.  I find it fun to use ingredients other people just walk by at the grocery store and/or they are afraid to use... (Baby kiwi's or celery root for example).  I say, "Why not be creative and do something a little different?"  This was lunch today for me and I loved every bite.  Feeding by body well so I can PLAY HARD!  Here are some reason I use Spirulina: 1) It's a bacteria (blue-green algae) that is a superfood because it offers benefits to every organ and bodily function). 2) It strengthens the immune system. 3) It promotes cell regeneration and helps wounds heal quicker. 4) Spirulina assists in keeping eyes healthy, very rich in vitamin A.... it actually has 10 times the amount of vitamin A that carrots have.  This is just SOME of the benefits, combined with Wheatgrass this smoothie bowl is a real powerhouse.   Have a GREAT DAY! 
Get your glow on!
 INGREDIENTS:

1 scoop of Amazing Grass Wheat Grass
1/4 cup organic fresh Wheatgrass
6 baby kiwi's (the whole thing not peeled)

1 cup organic Spinach

1/2 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon spirulina powder
1 tablespoon Barlean's Omega fish oil (I used Pina Colada... its what I had on hand)
1 cup organic pineapple juice
1/2 cup water

Method:

Easy peasy:  Just place all the ingredients in a Vita-mix and blend away.  Decorate how you wish.  Remember...FOOD SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL SEXY! XOXO

Pink Lemon Delight

  This smoothie bowl has a ton of greens but it's made with a Pink Lemon to make it a tad tart, but full of lycopene.  A couple little facts about Pink Lemon Trees. 1) They are actually their own variety of lemon tree and not a hybrid. 2) They don't produce as many lemons because they are a little lower in chlorophyll. 3) The flesh is pink from the lycopene (The same compound that colors pink grapefruit).
Perfect!
Ingredients:

1 teaspoon spirulina powder
1 cupful Amazing Grasses (Brand) Wheatgrass
1 large handful purple Kale, organic
1 cup spinach, organic
1 green Apple, organic
1 fresh mango, seeded, organic
1 cup mango juice, organic
1/2 cup filtered water
1 tablespoon Barlean's Swirl (Orange)
1 whole organic Pink Lemon, including the rind

Method

Blend all in a high powered blender (vita-mix), serve with slices of pink lemon, sprouted almonds, Chia seeds sprinkled on top.  VIOLA, Fancy pants smoothie bowl! ENJOY!
