8 Smoothie Recipes You Need To Try

21 Sep 2017 Home, Recipes

Life & Style blogger, Liz Joy, shares go-to smoothie recipes. She includes eight, easy to make, healthy smoothies that are some of her readers favorites.

The other day I asked my friends in the Pure Joy Home Facebook Tribe for their favorite smoothie recipes. I make the same variation every morning and needed some fresh ideas!! Ours usually looks like a banana, frozen blueberries, frozen spinach and either dairy with yogurt and whole milk or non-dairy with orange juice. My kids love them but we all need a little shake up every once in a while (literally 😜).

Here are eight reader submitted favorites, and if you want to join the conversation, request an invite to the FB group here.

  • Almond milk
  • banana
  • kale (or spinach)
  • dates
  • protein powder and collagen peptides.
  • *You can also add some oatmeal to for more of a “meal”‘.

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
