I have been craving smoothies this week for some reason. Every time I was on Pinterest this week, I was pinning new recipes. I am calling the the Uber Smoothie because it is two awesome recipes smashed into one.
The first recipe I pinned is from this really fun site called Muffin Tin Mania. It is a wonderful blog with some really GREAT ideas for using muffin tins in special ways. I used the Green Smoothie Cups recipe as the start for my Uber Smoothie.
Here is what you will need:
2 cups coconut water
1/3 cup almonds
2 cups spinach
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint
1/2 orange
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
2 cups frozen mango cubes
The only this I added to this recipe was a small scoop of this:
{{adding to the Uber-ness of this smoothie}}
Then whiz it up...
Pour it into your muffin tins and pop those bad boys into the freezer.
And this is what you will get...
Super Uber, right??
Ok the NEXT smoothie recipe I pinned was the Monster Smoothie (check out the original recipe here) from Sing For Your Supper.
Uber Smoothie
1 green smoothie cup
1 banana4 or 5 strawberries1/2 cup fresh blueberries1 small peach (I left the peeling on but peeling it is fine too)splash of coconut water1 tablespoon Greek yogurt 2 teaspoons honey1/2 cup crushed ice
{I actually used a honey flavored greek yogurt and there is honey in the green cups so I did not add the 2 teaspoons of honey here.}
{You can just barely see the green cup at the bottom of the blender.}
Then whiz it all up and presto!
The Uber Smoothie!
It looks very unassuming, but this smoothie is power PACKED and SUPER yummy!
Let me know if you give it a try! :)
