There’s nothing like a warm, creamy, chocolaty elixir to start your day, especially when it’s chilly outside. I love my smoothies, but once winter sets in here in Michigan I change gears and blend up elixirs to ensure I have the best day ever.
Believe it or not this is my first recipe featuring walnuts. There will be more to come featuring this healthy nut.
Here are some of the top health benefits of this lovely nut:
Morning sickness is not something I have personal experience with. The recipe and information in this post is based on research and my partner’s firsthand experience.
While I was hoping to be able to provide a silver bullet cure for morning sickness, it doesn’t exist. However, you can take steps to help prevent morning sickness and take measures to alleviate when it strikes.
This is what I call a “thickie”. It’s so dense you may need to eat with a spoon…right from your blender.
Rich, creamy, chocolaty, nutritious – what else can you ask for?
Avocados are one of the most popular ingredients in the smoothie recipes on my site. Nothing else brings the same thickness and creaminess. They also pair well with many other ingredients and offer a nice array of health benefits, which include:
Depression and anxiety disorders are mental health conditions and are both classified as mood disorders. They are more common than most people realize, with 40 million adults in the U.S. coping with an anxiety disorder and nearly as many dealing with major depression at some point in their lives.
When left undiagnosed and untreated, these disorders can cause symptoms that make the routines of daily life difficult to impossible. Living with anxiety or depression untreated is no way to live. Treatment with medications and therapy can help relieve symptoms, but so too can certain herbs, supplements, and foods, many of which blend well in smoothies.
Who else loves dessert in a glass?
Key lime pie is probably my favorite non-chocolate dessert. This recipe is my best approximation of this tasty treat made with nothing but healthy ingredients.
While perusing several key lime pie recipes on the internet I was disappointed to see most included large amounts of refined white sugar. No thanks!
There’s nothing quite like a glass of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Except maybe this citrus smoothie, which is both refreshing and filling.
Starting your day with a little lemon juice and warm water is a proven health strategy. It wakes up your digestive system, flushes toxins, and is hydrating. To change things up and get more lemony goodness (pulp and pith are loaded with nutrition) you can blend the whole thing.
