Smoothies also know as Suzies (according to my 4 year old) are a very popular and highly requested item in my home. So when the doctor suggested that we significantly reduce my daughter's dairy consumption, there was quite a bit of disappointment.
The next morning I surprised everyone with a fresh dairy free Tropical Smoothie loaded with pineapple, mango, blueberries, blackberries, and even two cups of Kale. Thanks to the kind folks over at Almond Breeze providing us with their delicious Almondmilk, she can enjoy her delicious smoothies without the bloating and stomach aches after!
This year, I am making it my mission to make more smoothies...even if it means having to clean the blender constantly. Smoothies are a great way to get your fruit, and even vegetable servings in. In this particular smoothie, I added a cup and a half of fresh kale and no one noticed. Score! For fun and looks, I made two layers, however you can easily combine the ingredients to make a big batch of smoothies for your family of 4 (or even 5).
With El Nino brewing on this coast, and Snowzilla on the other coast, make your self a glass, sit back, and enjoy the imaginary sunshine!
