Red White N Blue Smoothie

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

I absolutely LOVE making smoothies! There are unlimited combinations and the kids love them as well. I decided to share a festive smoothie that we have been loving in our house lately! 
INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED
Frozen Strawberries
Frozen Blueberries
Banana
Coconut Water 
TRY TO USE LOCAL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

THIS IS MY FAVE COCO H2O

Start by adding the frozen fruit first. I always fill it to about halfway in the blender. Next add your banana, and then fill your blender to about halfway point again with coconut water. Blend away and enjoy! I love this combination and is very festive for the 4th of July! A couple of tips on making smoothies. I always buy the fresh berries when they are on sale and buy a butt load of them! Then wash and freeze them in ziploc freezer bags. That way you are not spending a lot of money on fruit that isn't in season and at a fraction of the cost! Also adding bananas makes your smoothies very creamy and a thicker consistency. Lastly try adding kale or spinach you can't even taste that it's in there and you get a boost of iron and fiber. So go out and try out some fun combos and maybe give this recipe a try as well! Let me know what you think of it :) Everyone have a fun and safe 4th!
Till next time MAMASITAs... lots of fireworks and sunscreen your way!
