Smoothie Fun

I just got done doing a store tour and nutritional information class for teens.  At the end of class we made a smoothie and it came out well so I am going to share it here.  Actually there are two smoothie recipes to try, one from today and one from a class I did a while back.  Both are tasty, nutritious and very easy to make.

Brain Power Smoothie

2 cups of ice

1 pint organic blueberries

1 cup organic strawberries

1 to 3 pieces of rehydrated dried mango (soak dried mango for 1 hour in warm water & drain)

3 Tablespoons hemp seeds.

3 handfuls of baby organic kale

Water as needed

In high speed blender:

Blend first three ingredients adding water as needed.

Add and blend mango, hemp and kale again adding water as needed.

Blend until smooth and enjoy.

 Cherry Berry Green Smoothie  

1 bag Organic Frozen Cherries

½ bag organic frozen blueberries

1 ripe peach pitted and cut into quarters (do not need to skin if it is organic)

3 handfuls of organic spinach

½ container of Tempt unsweetened hemp milk

About 1 cup of ice cubes

Directions:

Into a high speed blender  add ice and pour in ½ container of hemp milk

Add all other ingredients.

Pulse the blender on low for about 10 seconds and then on

high for another 10 to 15 seconds.

Serve and Sip

Enjoy!
