Zingiest of the Zinggy Green Smoothie

My mom has recently started making smoothies a regular part of her and my dad's diet. Why? They're yummy, versatile and you can pack a million vitamins in there!

The best Summer skyyyyyyyy

She made one for me the other day that was so good that I was inspired to make more smoothies for myself! It's zingy and yummy and works as a good sip-able drink for breakfast, a refreshment on the go or a palate cleanser at the end of a meal.

Enjoy!

The Zingiest of the Zingy Green Smoothies

1 cup Baby spinach
1 cup water or coconut water
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 large apple (I like macintosh or even granny smith for a little extra umph)

Combine all in a high powered blender. Serve over ice or by itself. Feel free to substitute the apples for pears (bartlet or ya) which will give a little extra sweetness or you can throw in a few dates. If you like it a bit thicker than add chia, ice cubes or plain yogurt.

Boom- deliciousness served!

Butterscotch Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Sad. It's all gone.

Who says it needs to be Autumn for us Canadians to enjoy pumpkin? Not this girl. I like pumpkin any time of the year, whether roasting in the oven, in a soup or...in a smoothie!
