Green Smoothie with Spinach
This Green Smoothie with Spinach is perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast with green apple, pineapple, banana and a bit of fruit juice. Add a scoop of Chia seeds for added health benefits including fiber and protein.
It is so easy to grab unhealthy snacks when life gets hectic, so I’m always trying to think of ways to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet. A smoothie is by far the easiest way to load up on multiple servings of them. I like to alternate between a Kale and Berry Yogurt Smoothie or this leafy green one. Banana Split Overnight Oats are also a great, quick and easy breakfast to start your day off right.
I love that you can easily pack in 2 or 3 cups of spinach into one of these beauties. Pineapple and green apple keep things green and vibrant with the added benefit of an extra bit of sweetness. In fact, enough to make this healthy drink enticing to even the pickiest 4 year old (miracle). You just have to sneak in veggies however you can, right?
I like to use skim milk in mine but a milk substitute would work as well. I used white grape juice in this recipe to maintain the green coloration and add additional flavor. You could also add a bit of pineapple or apple juice. Whatever is on hand would do just fine. Smoothies are quite versatile, just do a quick taste test and add additional items as needed to make it to taste.
Since you saved calories by drinking a healthy Green Smoothie with spinach, you are now enjoy a Blueberry Lemon Muffin or S’mores Granola Bar.

Crockpot Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate
This Crockpot Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate is perfect for entertaining! Pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin spice and white chocolate chips forge (like Mount Doom) this creamy, dreamy delight. Make an adult version by adding a shot of Butterscotch Schnapps or Rum Chata to your glass!
No one can blame you for adding a shot of Rum Chata or Butterscotch Schnapps to your over-sized mug (I may or may not have added 2). Leave it to me to turn any kind of drink into a cocktail! It kind of reminds me of my Baileys Peppermint Hot Chocolate…SO good! Just mix it up, cuddle under your blanket and watch a great Christmas flick. I just can’t get enough of Christmas Vacation because, that eggnog just looks so good, so good.
Surprisingly, my picky kids even seemed to enjoy this. That was probably, due to all the whipped cream on top. Thanks to their grandpa, for making them addicted to it! I can’t even have a latte without them running from the 2nd floor of the house to demand a big shot of it. Damned those cans of whipped cream for being so noisy (no joke).
