Ultimate Orange Creamsicle

I don't know about you but I have always been in love with the combination of these two flavors:
Orange... and vanilla. 
Stewart's Orange Cream Soda is a guilty pleasure of mine so I set out to find a waaaay healthier version with tons of Vitamin C and Protein! 
Voila!
Ingredients:
Orange Juice
Mango Juice
Vanilla Protein Powder-These are my two favorites:
Arbonne Vanilla Protein Mix
and
Trader Joes Organic Hemp Protein Power
I couldn't find a link to the actual product so the link is to an amazing breakfast bowl instead. You're welcome. ;)
Vanilla Greek Yogurt-I used Chobani
I also added a little bit of non-dairy Vanilla creamer. I absolutely LOVE this one in vanilla.
Easy easy easy!!Yum Yum Yum!!!

A Sailor's Spinach Smoothie

Oh you know that Sailor. 

Do you have a hard time with even the thought of eating spinach? Are you afraid of that slightly bitter tough little leaf? Does a spinach smoothie sound hideous to you?  Well you have come to the right place. I was also apprehensive until my sweet sweet hubbie made me this sweet sweet smoothie. NO CALORIE sweetness. I know. This green monster is very tasty, filling, and packed with nutrients. 

Ingredients:
2 cups spinach
1 cup blueberries
2 cups coconut milk
2 teaspoons truvia or zero calorie sweetener

  Fill bottom half of your blender with ice and water. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend!

Well many people have taken the high road to green goodness before me, so I would like to direct you to my friend Krista's blog and her 

Oh and hey moms out there-if your kids don't like the idea of a green drink, put the smoothie in a non-see through cup and call it the Popeye special. Ooh ooh OR you could freeze the mixture using this blend and call them Popeye Popsicles!
