Starting with breakfast: You have to try this extremely healthy, yet delicious, green juice.

Or you can have this green tropical smoothie.

Green St Patrick’s Day Juice {Juicing}

I have to admit that I am new to juicing! It wasn’t until after I got married and got a juicer for my wedding shower that I started. I love the idea having fresh fruit and veggie juice every morning. I have been playing around with different combinations and this is one that I love!

I love this particular recipe not only because it taste delicious but also because it is green. And green is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, which is just around the corner.

This is the a perfect St Patricks day green juice

You are going to need:
1 Apple
1 Lime
1 Small head of roman lettuce
1/2 Bunch of Spinach
1/2 Cucumber

The perfect ingredents for a green juice Start by having all of your fruits and veggies washed (I wash mine with Basic H) and cut. It is easiest if you have everything set up and ready to go before you begin. Learning how to juice at BeautyBlondie.com Here comes the easy part. All you have to do is put all of the ingredients in one at a time. Learn to Juice with Beauty Blondie Then the juice starts coming right out! This is nothing like freshly juiced juice! Anything left over will be separated from the juice. Spinach, celery and anything else that is stringy will come out like this. Juicing from home with so healthy and delicious. Once you are done, pour and drink. I love the idea of juicing and getting a little extra health in a cup I personally like to either chill it or add a few ice cubs to keep it nice and cold. I am so making this drink for St. Patricks Day Morning So there you have it. This is a perfect combination on sweet, sour, bitter and fresh.

If you are not a juicer yet, this drink just might convince you to start. I know that you are going to love it and it is a perfect drink to start of with on St. Patrick’s Day morning!

Let me know what you think of this combo. I would love some feed back from some more experienced juicers.

Energizing Caramel Apple Green Tea

With a chill in the air, there is no better time than the present to sip down the warmth of a Caramel Apple Green Tea. Personally I love drink hot tea in the colder seasons. It warms me up and keeps my blood flowing.

You only need a few things to create this master piece:
Shaklee 180 Energizing Green Tea
Apple Slices
Cinnamon
Caramel
Water

Bring the water to a boil. Pour the hot water into your mug and add the energizing green tea. Than take a spoonful of caramel and stir it into the tea. To finish it off add the apple slices into the mug and sprinkle with cinnamon. Once everything is combined together let it sit for 5 minutes to cool off and absorb all of the flavors.

That is all there is to it. It is really that simple.

I am pretty sure it is safe to say that I am defiantly a tea gal more than I am a coffee gal. I love that this green tea gives me energy but doesn’t make me jittery.

What about you, would you say that you are more of a tea or coffee drinker?

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.
