smoothie Archives - Pure Thyme

Spring is here and if you are like me, you are ready for some beautiful, fresh looking food that fits well with sunshine and soft breezes. I want to thank the beautiful weather we are having for inspiring this smoothie bowl.

Sometimes it is difficult for my mornings meals to be as balanced as I would like. I am constantly running from the minute I wake up during the week, so I might grab a piece of toast with hummus and my cup of coffee and go! When the weekend comes and I have some more time to get some creative and healthy foods on the table I am one happy momma.

I didn’t know what to expect from my 7, 5 and 22 month old when I changed it up from our regular old smoothie and presented them with this smoothie bowl. But, they absolutely loved it, ate it up, and asked for more. They loved being able to pick and choose their own toppings and decorate their smoothie bowl, so that was a bonus! Anytime they can take ownership of the food they are eating is a win-win situation at our house.

I want to thank the good people over at Sunwarrior for supplying me with their fabulous products to take this smoothie bowl up a notch. I added some of their raw, vegan, sprouted and fermented vanilla protein and raw supergreens. I love getting some extra health benefits out of my meals especially when I am feeding them to my children.

I love that smoothie bowls give us a fresh new way to enjoy our smoothies and they are so beautiful to look at, don’t you think so? I just feel good eating these types of meals and also feeding them to my family.

If you start out your day with a healthy breakfast like this one, it will give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and set the stage for an amazing day!

In the mood for a new green smoothie? I know we were at my house this week and this is what I came up with.

This smoothie is nutrient-rich and delicious. Spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients including iron, beta-carotene and vitamin C that fights heart disease and provides anti-cancer benefits. Cucumbers provide us with valuable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits as well. Coconut water is full of potassium and electrolytes which makes this the perfect after-workout smoothie. I have it right after my morning run and it gives me the boost and energy I need to keep me going for the rest of the day chasing around two small kids. =)

We are loving this smoothie and will be drinking it every morning this week. Enjoy and let me know how much you love it too. =)
