Mango time! Tickle your taste buds with this simple, yet flavorful and nutritious mango yogurt smoothie.
It seemed like it took an eternity for the mangoes I received in a recent Door to Door Organics delivery to ripen. Once they did, I went to town. There were many parties in my mouth including one from this smoothie :)
Not only are mangoes delicious, they impart some nice health benefits as well. Those health benefits include:
Tickle your taste buds with this flavorful tart cherry mango smoothie. It’s just as nutritious as it is delicious.
You know that feeling when you find a twenty dollar bill in the back pocket of an old pair of pants? That’s kind of how I felt when I discovered a bag of frozen tart cherries buried behind the blueberries in my freezer. Naturally, I made a smoothie with these little balls of flavor the next morning for breakfast.
It’s time to do some light detoxing the easy way with a delicious smoothie.
Detoxing is all the rage these days. I don’t subscribe to most of the detoxification protocols out there, unless you’re in a healing crisis.
Instead, I nourish my body with healthy foods full of nutrients that “crowd out” the toxins and support the body’s natural detoxification channels. I also avoid toxins wherever I can (food, water, health & beauty products, cleaning products, etc) and employ detox habits such as skin brushing, sweating via exercise or sauna, and occasional clay consumption.
That said, how does this smoothie help you detox?
What would I do without my raw milk, or as like to call it, white gold. Raw milk and the kefir I make with it are staples in my diet.
Real raw milk from grass-fed cows is a complete food that you could live on exclusively if you had to. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, cholesterol, and beneficial bacteria.
Some of the amazing health benefits of raw milk include boosting the immune system, strengthening teeth and bones, and helping children grow up to be strong and healthy. It’s been shown to alleviate asthma and allergies, and help resolve digestive issues, arthritis, and osteoporosis among other things.
I admit it, I’m addicted! Addicted to superfood smoothies. I like to think of it as a healthy addiction :)
Not only do I love the taste, how I feel after drinking, and the health benefits, tossing a variety of superfoods into my blender is flat out fun. Thankfully, I’m not the only one who share’s this passion.
When I bump heads with a fellow superfood smoothie maker recipes like this ensue. This recipe was inspired by my friend, Ian, a seasoned superfood smoothie maker himself.
Spoon a few golden flax seeds into your smoothie for super nutrition.
Tropical fruit, flax seeds, and Greek yogurt combine for one delicious and highly nutritious smoothie.
This may seem like an odd combination of ingredients for a smoothie, at least it did for me, which is why I put off making this dude for a while. Big mistake. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty, and creamy, this smoothie turned out.
Here are a few of the health benefits you can expect from chugging down this smoothie:
