Kitchen Experiments: Trail Mix Smoothie

As I have mentioned before (see last kitchen experiments post here) I am a huge fan of B2 Café(Bambino’s) and stop in there at least once a week for a smoothie fix. John, Sawyer and I love the Trail Mix Active Smoothie, it is our favorite by far. I decided I would attempt creating the smoothie at home, to get our fix any day of the week. The one from B2 has mocha but I swapped and added a few healthy items. I think it is pretty darn close!

 INGREDIENTS (for 2 smoothie)

2 cups milk (we use local Ozark Mountain Creamery)

2 banana

½ cup PB2 powdered peanut butter

1 cup Granolove Peanut Butter Chocolate (Moka Java is also yummy)

2 tbsp. Chia Seed

3 tbsp. Flax Seed

Cinnamon (to taste)

1 tsp. honey

STEPS

1.  Just throw all items in a blender and mix. If it is too runny a cup of ice blended will help thicken.
2. Enjoy!

Ooh I like that: Kale Smoothie

Jokes on you Sawyer!

I am always trying to think of ways to incorporate veggies in an indiscreet way for Sawyer. He is going through a phase of judging food by its cover (lettuce looks like grass so it is yucky!) I decided to invent my own kale smoothie with some high nutrient dense ingredients to see if he would like it and to my surprise, he did. Looks like I was able to pull a fast one on our smart little guy so he can still get the fruits and vegetables he needs, score!
It may not look pretty but you could always add more blueberries to hide the green.

INGREDIENTS
(for 1 smoothie)
1 cup Baby Kale (cleaned, de-stemmed)
1 banana
1 cup blueberries
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup milk/almond milk/soy milk (your choice)

Looks so pretty!

DIRECTIONS
- put all ingredients in a blender and blend, easy peezy!

Enjoy!
