Chocolate Mocha Latte Smoothie

When it comes to me and my smoothies, there is nothing I would rather have in the morning! I probably have over 50 recipes up in my head that I need to write down to share with all of you. They are so filling and refreshing.

Today I am sharing a recipe that I actually got from Shaklee itself. It is so good and I know that you are going to love it. Don’t get me wrong I still love my Chocolate Frape Smoothie. But this is a great alternative if you don’t have coffee cubes on hand.

You will need:

1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Café Latte Smoothee Mix
1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Chocolate Smoothee Mix
8 oz non fat milk (low-fat soy milk can also be used)
1/4 tsp instant coffee
Ice (as needed)

Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until creamy.

I just wanted to share with all of you a little piece of reality! This is what it looks like behind the senses of most of my blog posts. This is breakfast time at the Heasley house!

This is what my picture looks like for all of you, hehe!

Do you ever have smoothies for breakfast?

If not what do you like to have?

St Patrick’s Day Smoothie! {The Green Monster}

As most of you I am currently on the Shaklee 180 program and I have been loving it. I am so happy with the results so far and I can’t wait to see I how I look for the wedding. I can really tell that I am a changed women and I can’t even describe the amount of energy I have.

I have 1 to 2 smoothies a day I have become very creative with the different types of smoothies I have been making to help keep me motivated and to change it up from day to day. I also like to get creative for the holidays.

For St Patrick’s Day I am going to be making what I like to call the Green Monster! Don’t be fooled by the color, it is actually very sweet. It has a great combination of fruits and vegetables.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

2 Scoops of Vanilla Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix

1/2 Cup Pineapple (Canned or fresh)

1/4 Cup Spinach (Fresh or Frozen)

1/2 Avocado

1/2 Orange

8 Ice Cubes

Blend until thick and creamy! This is a breakfast for champions.

I will be honest with you, when I made this most of my sibling didn’t want to try it because of the color. Once they did, they loved it.

No one except for the baby saw me make this smoothie, so they had to ask what was in it that made it green because they couldn’t tell by the taste! That is what I call hiding veggies!

This is a great way to get all of your morning nutrition in one glass. It has milk, protein, fruits and veggies. It tasted so good and I know that you are going to love it.

If you wouldn’t mind sharing, I would love to know what you and your family actually think of it.

Until next time,

Banana Almond Smoothie

I have been on the Shaklee 180 weight management program for 3 weeks now and I can’t even begin to explain how good I feel every time I drink my daily energizing smoothie. I love all 4 of the rich creamy and delicious flavor. When I have time in the morning I will blend up my smoothies with some fruits and/or vegetables for more nutrition and to change it up from day to day.

One of my favorite fruits to add to my smoothies would have to be bananas. I love them fresh or frozen and it blends well with so many flavors. Today I used the the Vanilla Energizing Smoothie although I love bananas with the Chocolate and Strawberry Energizing Smoothee as well.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Teaspoon Slivered Almonds (Blend in the blender first before adding any ingredients to get them finally chopped)

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery after you work out)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Vanilla Smoothee mix.

Ice (Blend until creamy)

I would love to know that you like to put into your smoothies. I am always looking to try out new smoothies and new ingredients, are there any you think I just have to try?

Thank you all for reading and for following along.
