I’ve been feeling very vanilla lately, craving that old comfort flavor. I was always a fan of vanilla everything. (It’s the most popular flavor, after all!) So, a vanilla smoothie became the flavor of the day, and wow, was this a hit! It literally tastes like an old-fashioned vanilla shake, but it’s loaded with greens and WAAAYYY better! Yum! I hope you like it as much as I do! Cheers!
Cleaning out the fridge, I found a head of broccoli and a few strawberries to add to my juice. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it was so fresh and flavorful, not to mention a powerhouse of healing nutrients, that it’s rapidly become a hit for me. I now make it regularly, and it tastes like spring has sprung every time!

This is the juice I have evolved over the years and is my anti-inflammatory elixir. It relieves my aches and pains, and provides immediate energy and mental clarity. It’s a powerful boost of anti-inflammatory goodness. As an extra bonus, it even tastes fresh and delicious!

Ingredients:
Smoothies are a great opportunity to increase your green leafy vegetable intake. Dark leafy greens are one of, if not the most energizing and nourishing way to start your day. The smoothie should be 75% greens, with the fruit used only to help sweeten it (never a fruit only smoothie.) – 25% of the smoothie. A high power blender helps make it creamy and delicious, but is not essential. Here are 2 sample recipes that are my favorites; there are infinite combinations, so find what you like. Drink these green smoothies daily, and watch your energy skyrocket!
