Tropical Punch Smoothie

Hello Everyone!

I have a new and exciting recipe for you! This tropical punch smoothie is something that will excite your taste buds! This blend will have you feeling fabulous and give you the energy you will need to start your day. This is by far one of my favorite recipes. This blend is sweet, despite its look. This smoothie tastes more like a tropical juice with the pineapple and the orange overpowering the flavours of the other ingredients.  This tropical punch blend consists of vanilla yogurt, spinach, an orange, mango, pineapple and flaxseed. This tropical punch smoothie will have you thinking about the beach!

This blend is very nutritious and incorporates all natural sugars. Smoothies are a great way to eat nutritious food on the go.  As I said on my previous post, it’s always good to incorporate vegetables into your smoothies for a wide variety of nutrients. Most times, the vegetables won’t be overpowering if you choose the right fruit which is also great for people who don’t like vegetables.

Try this Tropical Punch smoothie with a slice of toast for breakfast and it will give you the energy you need to start your day. Make sure you stay tuned for next week’s recipe! Enjoy your nutritious breakfast!

Recipe:
2/5 of a mango
1/8 of a pineapple
1 medium orange
4 table spoons vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon flax seed
1 Handful of spinach leaves
100 mL of water

Vanilla Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

Vanilla Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today, I have whipped up a delicious smoothie! This delicious blend is a perfect breakfast or mid-day snack. The smoothie consists of apple, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, vanilla greek yogurt, and flaxseed. This nutritional blend is a great pick me up and will excite your taste buds! 

 I have incorporated vanilla greek yogurt because it is higher in protein than regular yogurt and will help you satisfy your hunger. It is important to always include a source of protein in order to satisfy hunger and help to avoid unhealthy snacking. I have also incorporated pure vanilla extract and cinnamon to enhance the flavour without any sugar or artificial sugar.  Make sure you are careful with the amount of cinnamon you put into your smoothie because it can make the smoothie very rich. Apples also contribute to the flavourful blend as they have many health benefits (make sure to include the peel). Flaxseeds are also included because they have great health benefits without jeopardizing flavour. Instead of reaching for the chip bag, try this!

Recipe:
1 Apple
½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 dash of ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons of Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon of flaxseed
100 mL of water
