Fall is coming, y'all. Can you feel it? I LOVE the fall season, so obviously I'm deep diving into this season with all things cozy. Although fall is coming, the weather here hasn't exactly caught up yet. So, this apple cinnamon green smoothie is a recipe acknowledging the warm weather but letting me indulge in some of my favorite fall flavors.
I love fall for comforting, warm, hearty foods. But like I said, the weather where I live just really hasn't caught that vibe yet. The last few weeks of late summer are hanging tight. That's why I opted for a smoothie.
I really only like smoothies in warm weather. Other than that, I like to ...

Ginger Green Smoothie
Some smoothies are sweet. This one isn't so much. You've been warned 😆. This ginger green smoothie is a little spicy and a lot of nutritious. It's a great option if you're looking for something to give you a little kick in the morning or as a mid-afternoon snack.
No one ever said that smoothies are limited just to fruits. So if you've been a strictly fruit smoothie maker, maybe it's time to switch things up and throw some veggies in your blender.
This ginger green smoothie features a combination of some super nutrient-dense green fruits and vegetables. Of course, you've got spinach in there. That's what gives it the bright green ...

Refreshing Strawberry Basil Smoothie
This smoothie screams summertime. With a classic flavor combination - strawberry and basil - it's perfect for hot days when you need something tasty to cool you down.

Our Favorite Green Smoothie Recipes
This Sunday is Saint Patrick's Day. I don't know about you, but holidays give a great excuse to celebrate. And I love to celebrate anything and everything.
The holiday originates from Ireland and celebrates Saint Patrick - the patron saint of the country.
Nowadays, the holiday is celebrated across the country by Irish and non-Irish alike with parades and feasts. People don their green, eat their green foods, and drink their green drinks.
While many of my friend may choose green beer as their drink of choice - I'll be opting for something a little healthier instead.
There's seriously not a more perfect day of the year to whip ...

Detox Green Smoothie
Have you ever eaten or drank something that tasted just like the color it was?
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Or am I just crazy?
This smoothie is a prime example - it tastes GREEN. Like if green had a taste, it would be this.
I personally love smoothies because they are the easiest way to get a bunch of vitamins and minerals into your body in one 8oz glass. But the thing you have to watch out for when it comes to smoothies is the sugar content.
Even smoothies that are made of fruit can have a really high sugar content. It tastes delicious - obviously - but it can spike your blood sugar just like your favorite candy ...
