Smoothie Madness

Good morning everyone! Now that the holidays are over it's time to get back on track, I know it was for me, I gained about 4 pounds over the last few weeks of December, and lost it and 2 more pounds, in just 9 days.

One of the only things I asked my husband for for Christmas was a Ninja system, it has the single serve, blender, and food processor. I have been using it daily since December 26th! I drink a smoothie a morning along with a few egg whites on a piece of bread (omitted the bread this am for a cleaner breakfast).

Anyways, back to the point! SO many people have asked me for recipes, and the truth is, I don't follow not near one! I literally just throw stuff into my single serve and blend away! I do have a base for every smoothie I make, which is
1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk -30 calories
1 to 1 & 1/2 tsps of coconut sugar - 15 calories PER TEAspoon
A handful of spinach -like 5 calories? lol
Then add your frozen fruit! (1 to 1.5 cups)
(also if you want a chocolate kick, add raw cacao)

My favorite so far is anything with frozen pineapple! So delicious! I have also pre packaged all of my smoothies fruit wise. I buy the big bags from Sams Club and then get the quart size freezer bags and measure out different fruits in each bag, like this morning it was blackberries with a little bit of mango. You just grab the bag and throw it in your blender! Also, I like to nuke mine for 30 seconds just to thaw it a bit! 

I will try to keep with my favorite smoothies of the week on here! Hope everyone has an amazing Tuesday!
