Green Smoothie Yumminess!!!

 RAINBOW of goodness!!!
I know my blog is mostly about crocheting but I love to cook as well and love to share my new recipes! This is a new concept to me so I thought it would be fun to share.  I just learned what a green smoothie is (I know im probably late to the game) but if you do not know they are amazing! 

The rule of thumb is 60% fruit and 40% leafy greens.

In this recipe I used 1 nectarine, 1 banana, a hand full of strawberries, blueberries and spinach.  I also add about half a cup of crushed ice and about a cup and a half of water or juice (juice makes it sweeter but less healthy). 
First you add the crushed ice and liquide and fruit.  I pulse my blender to puree everything and then add in the spinach last. 

You cant go wrong!  Everything is fresh so add what you like and make it original!  But rest assured it is soooooooo good!  My 2 and 4 year old love it!  That says a lot!!!!

Just another perfect day!!


This picture is the perfect description of my life!  Crazy but productive!

I do in home child care and crafting.  the adorable little boy in front is my son Wyatt who is almost two, the little gils peeking out from the upside down child is my daughter Mary-jane who is 4.  The other three are my favorite little people I watch during the day.  We have fun playing and doing art projects, but as you can see I am a mulitasker!  hahaha I love my crazy little life :)
