Chocolate pineapple-berry smoothie!

Oh my goodness. Can't stop won't stop with these smoothies! They are just delicious & give great energy for the day. 



This one tastes absolutely lovely. 

"Chocolate" pineapple-berry: 
- 1/4 of a pineapple 
- 1/4 of a papaya (make sure it's ripe!) 
- 1 ripe banana 
- 3 stalks of kale (stems removed) 
- about 10-15 cherries 
- 1 gala apple 
- Tsp of cacao powder (cocoa or carob can substitute) 
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries 
- about 5 frozen strawberries 
- about 5 frozen peach pieces 
- 4 ice cubes 
- coconut water, I fill the bottom 1/2 inch of the blender.

Enjoy! Xoxo 

*Remember it's always best to place the softest ingredients on the bottom to ease the blades in blending.

Cherry-berry smoothie + Watermelon smoothie = love.



So today I am heading to the pool, which means I have to prepare something to bring along! I made these smoothies today & they were so delicious I needed to share! 

Cherry-berry delight: 
1/4 of a papaya 
1 banana 
About 15 cherries 
1 pink lady apple 
2 strawberries 
4 small stalks of kale, stems removed 
2 medjool dates 
Tsp of agave nectar 
1 cup frozen blueberries 
5 ice cubes
Coconut water 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

Blend all ingredients until smooth... WOW! This one is really delicious. 


The second one, the pink one, is simply just blended seedless watermelon! This is one half of a watermelon. It was sweet but not crispy enough so blending was perfect! 

Hope you enjoy! Xoxo
