  • Yum! And healthy are 2 words to describe this smoothie. Since I would make the boys homemade “Shamrock” shakes, I made myself one of these instead. This is another easy recipe to put together. This recipe makes four servings. I put the other three servings in the freezer to enjoy them later. (They are already portioned…

  • Yummy!  And healthy!  That’s two words that describe these smoothies. Right before Christmas, I bought an individual smoothie maker with cups for a Christmas gift for the whole family.  The Imaginative One, and I love making and drinking smoothies.  He also likes to drink milkshakes made with a smoothie maker.  I will share his favorite smoothie…
