Strawberries n' Cream Shake

Since strawberries are coming early this year and the price for them is down, I thought I would share a morning shake to go with it.

1lb Strawberries, washed and greens cut off
1 Banana
Juice from 1 Lemon
4 tablespoons Coconut Cream Cocentrate
1 cup Water
2 cups Ice
Agave to taste

Blend all ingredients until you have a nice smooth, thick consistency. Serve immediately.

Mango Coconut Delight

2 Mangos
3/4 Banana
1/4 cup Coconut Cream Concentrate
2 cups Water (or coconut milk/water)
2-4 tablespoons Agave or to taste
2 cups Ice

Blend together the first five ingredients through agave. Add ice and blend on high until the shake is smooth.

Blueberry Flax Shake

1 (10 oz) bag of Frozen Blueberries (or mixed berries)
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1-2 handfuls of Spinach (about 2 cups)
4 inches of Cucumber, cut into chunks
half of one Avocado
1-2 cups Water (or coconut water or rice/almond milk)
2 tablespoons Agave (or honey)
1 tablespoon Flax Seed
1 tablespoon Greens powder (optional)

Blend all ingredients together until desired consistency.

Pink Lemonade

My girls and I love making this together. They love to watch the hibiscus seep pink into the water right before their eyes. This is super refreshing and hibiscus is known to be hydrating. Enjoy.


6 cups Water
1 Tb dried Hibiscus Flowers (you can find this here)
Juice of 2-3 Lemons
Raw Agave

In a large preferably glass bowl combine water and hibiscus. The hibiscus will give the lemonade that amazing pink color. The longer you let it soak in the water the deeper pink color you will achieve.

When you have reached the color you like, drain water and hibiscus into a pitcher using a strainer.

Add the lemon juice and sweeten to taste with the agave.

Cucumber Refresher

I'm not a big fan of avocado shakes even though they are extremely healthy. While messing around with some recipes my husband and I came up with this recipe in lieu of an avocado shake. Surprisingly sweet and perfect for in the morning.



2 handfuls of Spinach
3/4-1 cup sliced Cucumber (about 5-6 inches of a cucumber)
Half of 1 Avocado
Juice of 1 Lemon
1-2 cups Water
2 handfuls of Ice Cubes
2 1/2-3 packets of Stevia
A scoop of your favorite super greens (optional)

Place all ingredients into a blender (I use a Vita Mix blender) and blend on medium for a minute. Then turn blender to a high setting and blend until all ingredients are completely smooth and blended. Serve immediately.
