Delicious and Healthy Green Smoothies

Just because something is green or incorporates spinach doesn't mean it has to taste like grass. I love smoothies and I feel even better about drinking them when I throw a little spinach in them to help me reach my veggie in take for the day. I have recently been expanding my go-to smoothie ingredients. These are just some suggestions, the possiblities are endless :)

Pick 1
Orange juice
Coconut water
Coconut milk
Water
Cranberry juice

Pick 1
Greek yogurt
Yogurt

Pick 2 or 3 or 4
Strawberries
Peaches
Pineapple
Blueberries
Banana
Honeydue
Mango

Pick 1
Spinach
Kale

My personal favorite when I want a sweet smoothie is orange juice, ice, strawberries, peaches, spinach, yogurt, and ground flax.

You can also add a little ground flax seed for some extra fiber.  We recently just bought a juicer so I have been experimenting with that. I will definitely post my favorite receipts soon.

Fun Father's Day Tool Belt for Daddy

Lincoln and I were at Home Depot (without Daddy surprisingly) and I got a great idea for a Father's Day gift. Since we have only had our house for a year and a half Cole is always building his tool collection. So for this Father's Day he will be adding a tool belt to his stockpile. What makes it a little more special is filling it with treats that Daddy loves and a  neato tool. I didn't want to get many tools simply because I didn't want to get ones he wouldn't use or need.




I'm all set for Sunday and can't wait for Lincoln to give Daddy his gift. We may or may not be making Daddy breakfast in bed, which is going to consist of fruit, eggs, and these delicious looking bacon pancake dippers. I also just made Cole one of his favorites.. lemon bars. Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's out there!
My two handsome boys!
