    Easy Smoothie Recipes!

    I love smoothies.  What else can you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert or a snack and feel good about your self.    What I also love about smoothies is that they can basically cross the seasons.  You can have this Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie in the middle of summer and this Cranberry Orange Smoothie in the middle of winter.  There are easy smoothie recipes for every  season!

    Easy Smoothie Tips!

    I cook four days a week.  The other three we either eat out or have leftovers.  Then I bought a Vitamix and we started having smoothies almost every night after dinner for dessert.

    While this is a fabulous idea, it meant I had to find even more recipes through the week.  Not only was I menu planning for 4 dinner recipes, I was also looking for 4 smoothie recipes.  I needed some smoothie short cuts.

    I found it.  My new favorite short cut is chocolate coconut water.  It mixes my two favorite flavors, chocolate and coconut.   If you can't find chocolate coconut water use regular coconut water and increase the Cacao Powder.

    This has become my go-to smoothie.  I keep frozen bananas in the freezer (simply cut them into fourths and freeze on a tray and then pop them in a ziploc bag), cacao powder and  chocolate coconut water.  That's it.  Easy peasy.  Chocolatey and dreamy.

      I have been doing more smoothies these days also. It started because of the hot weather and really not wanting to so much. Like you, I only cook four days a week now and the same, eat out or leftovers. I really think I'm going to be making smoothies with me into the Fall and winter now.
      I'm a huge fan of any with coconut...so I am going to look up chocolate coconut water and see if I can find it. I have a magic bullet that works great for smoothies also...
      Thanks for sharing Pam and I hope you are having a great weekend. I bet you are reading...xo

      What a wonderful smoothie idea! I bet a splash of that coconut water would be great in coffee too.

      I am so in lust with chocolate coconut water. My hubby Brooks can't get past the texture. He says it's too thin to be chocolate flavored. WHATEVER! He doesn't know what he is talking about. I use it all the time in my protein shakes because I am constantly dehydrated and coconut water helps me rehydrate. I have never used it for dessert though. I will be putting away my snacking chocolate and trying this! Thanks for linking up to Saucy Saturdays!

      This looks delicious! Is the chocolate coconut water thicker, more like milk? With those ingredients it sounds like it would be a little thicker, which is great for smoothies.

      I've been adding plain coconut milk to my smoothies, but I definitely need to start experimenting with flavors! Chocolate first, obviously.
