Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

"My secret for extra creamy smoothies? Avocado! One of my favorite foods with benefits. They have healthy fats, more magnesium and less sugar than bananas, so they make a great base ingredient for many breakfast smoothie recipes."—Gwyneth Paltrow

• 1 scoop Greenberry or Tropical Strawberry Shakeology
• 1 cup frozen organic blueberries
• Small piece of avocado—about 1/5 of a large avocado or 1/4 of a small one
• 1 cup coconut water, or 1/2 cup filtered water and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• Juice of half a lime
• 4 ice cubes
• 1 tsp. raw honey

Add all ingredients to blender and pulse until smooth and creamy.

Dairy Free Chocolate Ice Cream

This is from The Londoner, a blog that I will be reading for a while.  Because she wrote this post. 

Dairy Free Chocolate Ice Cream

Ingredients and Directions:

Chop up a bunch of bananas, pile them on a plate and put them in the freezer for 5 hours or overnight if possible.

When they are frozen, put them in the blender or food processor and blend until it is a smooth mush.

Add 2-3 heaped teaspoons of cocoa powder (or chocolate shakeology or tropical shakeology if you want a tropical fruity ice cream) and a swirl of pure maple syrup or make it peppermint flavored with a drop of doTERRA Peppermint oil....or orange...Oh, the possibilities are endless!

If you like it soft, just scoop it into a bowl and enjoy. 

Or stick it in tupperware and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. 

I think I have found a new recipe for when I am watching The Biggest Loser.

Tropicolate or Chopical Smoothie

Today I threw caution to the wind and mixed half Tropical Strawberry Shakeology and half Chocolate.  Let's just say it is like eating chocolate in Hawaii.  Could there be anything better?

1 1/2 cups filtered water

1 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk

1 cup frozen mixed fruit (pineapple, peaches, strawberries, grapes)

1/2 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

1/2 scoop Tropical Strawberry Shakeology

Blend well and grab two cups! 

Chocolate-Banana "Ice Cream"

 Freeze a banana, then combine with 2 Tbsp of Chocolate Shakeology (or Tropical if you want a tropical flavor!).  Blend until smooth and creamy.  Dairy free!

Tropical Strawberry Shakeology Bites

Tropical Strawberry No Bake Energy Bites

1/3 c. almond butter or peanut butter

 1/3 c. agave nectar
1 scoop Tropical Shakeology
3 T. flax, ground
1/4 c. raw shaved coconut (unsweetened)
1/2 c. oats

Mix all together, it's very stiff, you can add a bit of water if you need to but the texture stays chewy so you won't really need it.
