Cocoa Powder
Honey

Healthy Alterations #fixthedish
  • Almond milk is a great and tasty replacement for milk; it has less calories and more calcium!
  • Honey as a sweetener instead of sugar 
  • Natural Peanut Butter
    • Many peanut butters have unnecessary sugars and preservatives added, sing natural peanut butter eliminates that! 

Blueberry Green Smoothie
Frozen Blueberries
Oatmeal
Baby Spinach
Honey
Yogurt 
Water
Ice
(add in Chia Seeds or Flax Seed for extra fiber!)
- Instructions -
Measure out and add each ingredient
Add to the blender
Blend until desired consistency

*Fruit, Vegetables, Carbohydrate, Fiber*

3 Good Choices:
  • Natural, vanilla yogurt
  • Organic frozen blueberries
    • Search for them in your grocery store!
  • Organic baby spinach
    • This ensures that you have no pesticides in your smoothies 



Smoothies are one of my favorite snacks to enjoy, and if you use the right ingredients; they're healthy too! Add in your own favorite ingredients and blend for a delicious cold drink.  I personally don't like spinach. To get my full serving of vegetables, I toss them in my smoothies! I can't even taste the vegetables, but they're there...a quick trick to get your kids their daily serving of vegetables as well.  
The peanut butter chocolate shake is one of my favorite tasty treats that I can make right in the blender! It is much healthier than a shake you could buy in a store or from a restaurant because honey is a replacement for sugar, and it has no high fructose corn syrups or bad preservatives.
