Tropical Green Smoothie

One of my friends has this great blog called Modern Healthy Mom. She has a tonne of delicious recipes as well as tips for healthy living! I found this great recipe for a smoothie on there. She didn't have a name for it, so I called it  Tropical Green Smoothie because when I tried it, It tasted like something you would find on a beach somewhere! Perfectly smooth and creamy! My girls and I make this one all the time. Thanks for the delicious recipe! Oh and if you are unfamiliar with the ingredient kefir, check out her blog post about it here.

Ingredients

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1/4 cup kefir

1 banana

4 large frozen strawberries

1/4 cup frozen pineapple

3 cups spinach

Directions

Place all ingredients in a blender and enjoy your delicious smoothie!

Homemade Strawberry Lemonade

I found this delicious recipe from Super Healthy Kids (one of my favourite kid food bloggers). I have several homemade lemonade recipes, but none that incorporated strawberries, so I knew I wanted to try it right away! It is so easy, and my kids loved it! Arianne and I were trying so hard to get a picture of it, but it was quite hard with little fingers in the way stealing all our props! Eventually we gave up and they took over! Drink it up ladies!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, rinsed and tops cut off

Juice of 4 lemons

1/3-1/2 cup sweetener of your choice ( I used honey)

2 cups cold water

ice

Directions

Blend strawberries, lemon juice and sweetener in a blender. Pour mixture into 2 cups of cold water and plenty of ice. (I added my ice right to the drink, and enjoyed it that way.) Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Stir again and enjoy - Alex
