Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.

Are y’all in for a treat?

And a treat that’s healthy for you and beautifying, to boot?

Well, here’s a recipe that I make almost every day. And everyone who tries it LOVES IT!
Adults, kids, everyone.

BeautyFrosting's Green "Beauty Cobbler" Smoothie

I gained some extra pounds a few years ago and drinking this little beauty every morning helped me take off about 25 lbs!

I realized I just needed a breakfast that was fast, easy and, most importantly, DELICIOUS!
It totally gave me something to look forward to in the morning.

Now, I drink one every weekday. And my skin glows and the weight goes! It’s magic, I tell you. Or, um, just nutrition.

Love that. Try it for yourself and tell me what you think.

And, NO, you CANNOT taste the spinach. Spinach is the magical ingredient!

BeautyFrosting’s “Beauty Cobbler” Smoothie

1 c. Pineapple Juice

2 ice cubes (more if you like a thicker/icier smoothie)

7 frozen peach slices

7 apple slices (I buy the refrigerated & bagged produce kind)

1 c. Spinach (or more, if you like)

1 scoop Body Factory Protein Powder (it tastes like cake batter! Yum!)

1 tsp (or more if desired) Cinnamon

1 graham cracker or 1 tbsp. graham cracker crumbs (this gives it the “cobbler” taste)

Optional but recommended: 1 tsp flax seeds and 1 Tbsp. Thermogenic Oil

Blend pineapple juice and ice until smooth. Add peaches, apples and spinach.

 

Blend thoroughly.

Add protein powder, cinnamon, oil and flax seeds.

Blend until smooth.

Serve in a lovely glass with an apple wedge and a colorful straw.

That’s the BeautyFrosting way, at least.
