Sometimes I wonder if the next smoothie can really be all that different from the last. I especially wondered that about this one. I already have my Berry-Banana smoothie, I wondered if this would be too similar. But I can say, now that I’ve tried it, that the two are definitely different. For starters, this…
I really like this one! It’s a little bit sweet and has flavors reminiscent of blueberry cobbler, but without all the sugar. It’s not too sweet to start the day with, yet sweet enough to be a comfort in the morning. If you’re just starting out with smoothies, this is a good one to start…

As with any smoothie recipe, the ingredients and amounts are all pretty much optional. And if you’ve never tried putting spinach or other greens in your…
Today we’re making yogurt! Yogurt can make a huge dent in your grocery bill if your family likes smoothies or even if you just like to eat it plain, with fruit, or whatever. When you realize how easy it is to make your own, it just doesn’t make sense to keep buying high priced yogurt….
