How many ways can you make a Smoothie?

A LOT!

Smoothies are a GREAT way of incorporating distasteful items such as greens and vitamins, as well as being a wonderful "on the go" meal for when you need a quick and no mess meal in minutes.

Since Smoothies are such an incredible way to get maximum nutrition, I'll be featuring a wide selection of my favorite smoothie recipes on my blog!

For each recipe I'll tell you where I get the products, what to use, what to pair it with, how much time it took etc...


Green Thing~

2 C. Frozen Chopped Mango
1 Scoop Berry Vega Powder
1/4 tsp. Spirulina
Water to thin


That's it! Just 4 ingredients and your on your way!

What is Vega?

Vega powder is a tasty meal replacement/protein powder that makes smoothies really enjoyable! It's 100 % organic and perfectly matched nutrition that you can't beat. It's almost 100 % raw, but it does have some yummy pea protein and brown rice powder that isn't quite raw. It has your greens, probiotics, vitamins, fruits, veggies, proteins and minerals for a great balanced meal! It was created and designed by a man who used to do triathlons, and is great for a sports as well!

What is Spirulina?

Spirulina is a nutrient rich Blue Green Algae that has vitamins and minerals! It's one of the healthiest things you can put in your mouth, and it's very similar to Chlorella. It takes a little getting used to though, so start with a 1/4 tsp. and work your way up to a Tablespoon! It's almost addictive when you start eating it every day!

Where can I find these products?

Vega: www.myvega.com



It's the "Health Optimizer" type! It comes in Chocolate, Original, Berry, and Vanilla Chai! (We usually like to buy it through www.amazon.com because it is cheaper)

Spirulina: You can buy it HERE





Have a delicious day!
