I often go live on Tiktok in the mornings and make my smoothie with you guys.  I get a ton of questions about what goes into them, so I thought I would share with you here.

Ingredients: frozen spinach, Greek yogurt, frozen broccoli, ginger, turmeric, cracked black pepper (to activate the turmeric), frozen strawberries and bananas, Believe greens, milk, water.

Instructions: I like all of the veggies to be frozen for this smoothie since it gives a better, more icy smoothie.  If you use fresh fruit and veg your smoothie will be more like juice.  Combine all ingredients in blender.  Don't put in too much of the frozen broccoli or the strawberries and bananas because it will become hard to mix.  I add about 1/2 cup of each.  Then add in your ginger, turmeric, pepper, Greek yogurt, spinach, milk and water.  The brand of greens I use are Believe Greens, but you can use any brand.  The Greens have a ton of nutrients and add a nice flavor to the smoothie.  If you prefer to do the smoothie without the Greens, it will have a more earthy taste which is still enjoyable.   

Turmeric and ginger are both anti-inflammatory and really good for digestion.

Broccoli is high in protein and vitamin C.  Spinach is high in nutrients and antioxidants.  Bananas contain lots of fiber and potassium.  Strawberries contain a lot of vitamin C and magnesium.  Greek yogurt is high in calcium and protein.  Milk has a ton of vitamins and calcium.   Great way to start your day off right.  Make any changes you want to this smoothie to suit it to your liking!

Ingredients: onion, carrot, celery, canned lentils, canned Mexican style corn with red peppers and chilis, tomato sauce, canned 6 bean medley, ground chicken, spices of choice, I used: Ms. Dash herd and garlic, fresh ground pepper, cajun seasoning, chili powder, dash of cinnamon, oregano.

Instructions: Dice onion, carrot and celery.  Then sautee in a frying pan with olive oil.  Add desired sprices.  I added oragano and Ms. Dash herb and garlic.  In a pot on the stove or in a in a slow cooker, pour in sauteed veggies and canned goods.  I used lentils, Mexican style corn with red peppers and chilis, chopped green chilis, Mezzeta roasted garlic tomato sauce, and 6 bean medley.  I then browned some ground chicken and seasoned it with chili powder, herb and garlic, fresh ground pepper, and cajun seasoning.  Once cooked, add the meat in with the rest of the ingredients.  I then added more of the same seasonings to the mixture itself.  I cooked this on high in the slow cooker for one hour.  It has a ton of depth of flavor.  

Any substitutions can be made to any of the ingredients to your preferences.  Get creative and have fun with it.  Bon Appetit!
