One Dozen Smoothie RECIPES

One Dozen Smoothie RECIPES

I have been making smoothies for breakfast for many years now.  I have compiled a dozen of my favorite smoothie creations.  These smoothies will help clean your body from the inside out.

First, I just want to make it clear that I am NOT a healthcare professional - the information in these recipes I received from my own personal research (please click on the disclaimer below).

In all of my smoothie creations I use kefir (or yogurt) and whey protein and in each recipe I have featured certain ingredients.  I detail what I have learned about the health benefits of those special ingredients.  Some of these healthy ingredients are: ginger, kale, green tea, cinnamon, coconut, kiwi and much more!


I have listed my favorite 12 Smoothie creations below:

Tithonia Torch - a.k.a. Mexican Sunflower

 The color of this amazing flower is indescribable.  This orange color is dark and bright at the same time.  In shady areas it looks very red and then in bright sunshine it seems almost yellowish orange.  Absolutely stunning to say the least.

The leaves are also unique in color - it is a darker green than most other sunflower varieties. The shape of these leaves are also like nothing I've ever seen before.

ENJOY the following pictures!

All photos were taken by me (Angie Ouellette-Tower) and the sunflowers were all grown in my garden.

Round Zucchini - Perfect for Zucchini Jack-O-Lantern

Round Zucchini - Perfect for a Zucchini Jack-o'-lantern

Every year we grow at least one unique vegetable variety and this year it was the round zucchini.  These circular versions of the traditional oblong shaped veggie are very cute indeed and do resemble a pumpkin.  However, the flavor and texture have something to be desired.  The skin is quite tough on these spherical squash versions and the seeds are much too large.  I enjoyed growing them just this once - we will not plant the round zucchini a second time.

Most of these zucchini will be shredded and frozen (click HERE to view how to freeze shredded zucchini).  With this frozen produce I will create delicious smoothies (click HERE to view smoothie recipes using frozen garden produce).

I did set aside one round zucchini and created a sweet little zucchini jack-o'-lantern (see picture below) & ENJOY!
