PB&J Green Smoothie

So delicious and nourishing you’ll crave it everyday.

Best Ever PB&J Green Smoothie for 1

1 cup unsweetened almond milk ( or coconut, oat, regular cow)

2 big handfuls of spinach

1/2 cup frozen cherry berry blend*

1 Tbs maca powder (Optional)

1 scoop plant based vanilla protein powder

1 scoop unflavored collagen peptides

1 Tbs peanut butter (I like one that is just peanuts, oil, and salt)

I blend everything in the vitamix until smooth while Buffy, my Saint Bernard, enjoys the leftover peanut butter from the spoon.

*The cherry berry blend I use contains strawberries, blueberries, tart cherries, and sweet cherries. Feel free to use your favorite blend. Think of the kind of jam/jelly you like and go with that or switch it up.

What’s your favorite flavor of jam/jelly for a PB&J?

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a beautiful week!

I have to say, as much as I love the warm sunny days we have been having, I welcome the occasional rainy day. You see, the rainy days are perfect for binge watching shows without feeling guilty about wasting a nice day. Lately, we have been re-watching Game Of Thrones in anticipation of the season 7 premiere July 16th. It is insane how much I missed the first time around!

Which shows do you love to re-watch?

Okay, now let’s move on to this gorgeous salad. I love a bright, hearty spring salad. I wanted something substantial and healthy, but needed to go to the store. I decided to make a clean out the fridge salad. First, I tossed some carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, and smoked paprika. Then, baked them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
