Thirsty Thursday: BeautyFrosting’s Green “Beauty Cobbler” Smoothie
Date posted: April 5, 2012 | By: Dawn 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.

I am getting ingredients and trying this over the weekend!! A wedding in 6 months has me very motivated to tone it up. It sounds delicious and the results sound wonderful!! Thank you Dawn!
Perfect! Let me know if you love it (or don’t) and/or if you have any questions. Thanks for playing in the kitchen with BeautyFrosting! xoxo, BF
Dear BF –
This looks to be really yummy and good for me! In terms of losing actual weight, is there anything else you did to change your regimen while drinking this? Thanks for the tips and a great blog!
Hi Angie,
Welcome to BeautyFrosting! It is delish! Good question. I tried to walk or do elliptical 3-5 days/week. I tried to avoid starchy carbs after 2pm. But, I wasn’t super strict about that. I had wine almost nightly! And, if dinner plans with friends or parties came up, I indulged a bit! So I still was living happily! I also added in pilates about 3 months ago and that helped me get past my plateau. It’s great because Whole Body Method in Los Angeles offers $20/1-hour private pilates sessions with a student in the certification program. It’s a God-send!! Let me know if any of these suggestions help you and, also, if you have any tips to share! xoxo, BF
Thanks so much, BF! I appreciate all of those details and I’ll let you know how it goes!
Very excited that my order of BodyFuel is on it’s way to my home. Yay! I will be trying this recipe as soon as I receive the product. I’ve been hemming and hawing over the last couple of weeks about whether to purchase this or not and this weekend I took the plunge. Can’t wait to try out your recipe.
Thanks for the tip, BF.
Hi Lynn,
Woo-hoo! You will love it. I am not a protein powder fan but it SERIOUSLY tastes like cake batter. And, um, I think we know I love cake batter! Let me know when it arrives and if you need more recipes to use it in, let me know! xoxo, BF
Just made this tasty goodness this morning! It was absolutely delicious and I thank you for the recipe. I’m excited to add this to my morning routine and, as a mom always in a morning rush, I need something wholesome but fast- just like this smoothie! Thanks for the awesome lead on the delicious protein powder too. They usually taste like chalk and this one does taste like cake batter, just as you told me it would. Also, I would LOVE for you to share a few additional recipes for using BodyFuel. I think it’s safe to say that I’m sold.
Here’s to our health-Cheers!
Love, Lynn
Hi Lynn! I know, right? It’s delicious!! I will definitely be putting up more recipes as summer is a brewin’ and we need some cool drinks that help us get into bikini (or one-piece) shape! Well, at least I do
We <3 the feedback! xoxo, BF
Hi BF –
I have another question about this smoothie. I made it today, after receiving my BodyFuel, and it was delicious! I have all the ingredients with the exception of the thermogenic oil. Can you give me more more information on that ingredient and where to find it? I’ve looked at Whole Foods, but did not specifically find a “thermogenic oil”, so I’m wondering if I’m searching under the wrong name.
Thanks so much for your help and the great recipe!
Angie
Hi Angie,
I’m so happy you love it! It is magically delicious, isn’t it?
I think it’s available at hcgslimagain.com. If you can’t find it there, let me know!
Enjoy! xoxo, BF
