Berrylicious Smoothie Snack

So easy...so refreshing...so nutritious. I was craving something sweet & filling, but was feeling lazy. I usually have a freezer filled with frozen fruits & veggies. I opened it & said Ah Ha! Hence this gorgeous Berrylicious Smoothie.

I used all frozen fruit, fresh will work too, but then blend in plenty of ice.

Blend all together:

Raspberries

Blueberries

StrawberriesBanana
Splash of POM juice
Some water

I added some lime to mine, as I usually do. All these simple, healthy ingredients are good for you!

Bet you didn't know that raspberries contain lots of Vitamin C, fiber & help control inflammation.

Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, which those with a lowered immune system need.

Strawberries are extremely good for you. They protect your heart, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer.

Bananas help your heart, eyes & bowels.

Enjoy your glass of sweet & healthy love!

Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte

It's that time again! Time to be bombarded with ads for Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.

But make your own instead, its so easy, and much better for you! Most store bought drinks are laden with yucky chemicals.

So easy to make! Just blend all ingredients:

Fresh brewed coffee

2 scoops pumpkin from can

1/2 frozen banana

cinnamon

nutmeg

Dash of vanilla

Cream

Ice

Now go outside & enjoy your yummy & healthy drink in the nice summer weather before it gets cold out.

Easy Ice Cream Breakfast

Ice cream for breakfast?! Yes, please! This idea was inspired by my friend Rick, who can't have anything acidic. I can't take full credit for this recipe, I've seen it online before many times. The flavors & colors (yes I see food as colors) I chose myself. Pick any flavor you prefer, the possibilities are endless for this HEALTHY, ANTIOXIDANT Easy Ice Cream Breakfast. Of course, this can be made for any time of the day. Frozen bananas are the base of this recipe. Add any flavor you want, I chose raspberry.

You only need 2-3 ingredients for this & they're probably already in your kitchen.

For this I blended till smooth:

3 frozen bananas

4 handfuls frozen raspberries

Few splashes almond milk

It will probably be very thick, add more milk as necessary.

Add dark chocolate chips to top

Now this is something my sensitive immune system can enjoy and eat as much as I want!

It does melt kind of fast. Any left overs just add ice, blend & drink as a smoothie!

Easy breakfast mango smoothie

Being very busy today, I needed something quick, simple, healthy & yummy. Good thing I had the 4 ingredients needed for this Easy breakfast Mango smoothie.

Blend together:

Lots of mango, fresh or frozen

1/2 banana

Little water

Grate in some fresh ginger

Blend again

Cherry-licious anti-inflammatory smoothie

I've been having a crazy Fibromyalgia muscle flare up & spasms in my rib area lately. Dr wants me on more drugs, but I refuse, hence this blog. Acupuncture is helping take the edge off, but I'm hoping this Cherry-licious Anti-inflammatory Smoothie will help take down some of the swelling.

Blend all together:
A lot of frozen black cherries
Splash of blueberries
1 frozen banana
Water
Ice

Now throw on some of your favorite music, like 311 & let natures food be thy medicine.
