Kid Friendly Green Smoothie

This yummy Kid Friendly Green Smoothie is a great way to sneak greens into your kiddos without the fight!

If you follow me on Instagram you know I love smoothies! I try to do 1 smoothie a day. It helps get in those extra veggies without even thinking about it.

When I first started making smoothies I was so overwhelmed. Spending time searching all over Pinterest at recipes. I swear there are thousands and thousands of recipes out there for every smoothie variation you could imagine. I decided instead of making off of these recipes I was finding online I would attempt to make ones that worked for our family! This was a real game changer for us.

I have found that spinach and kale do not have a really strong taste in smoothies so they became a foundation in almost all of my smoothies. Kale is high in fiber and protein so it is a great way to start your smoothie. Spinach is packed full of vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B6, B9 and E.

From there I just started playing around with different combinations of fruits and veggies until I found something my whole family loved! As a mom, you know how hard it is to get your kids to eat “healthy” foods. This is a smoothie that is healthy and your kids will go crazy over.

If you liked this recipe you should try my Blender Muffins! We replaced cereal with these yummy tiny breakfast treats and my kids don’t miss it a bit. I like to make them in massive batches and freeze them so I have them on hand for mornings when I don’t feel like cooking, snacks, and lunches! 

Another few other kid friendly breakfast recipes you can try are my Grain Free Waffles and my Almond Pulp Pancakes.

    How many grams of sugar? I’m afraid with all the fruit it might be pretty high. I’m just starting out to eat healthy.

      You can plug the ingredients into a macro counter or calorie tracking app to find out exactly how many grams of sugar there are in this recipe. 🙂

I have literally been praying for someone to come into my life that could teach me or just help! I truly believe that you’re that person.

Your story and success is very motivational and inspiring. I am looking forward to following your motivation.

Your group has come at such a good time for me. I just want to say thanks! I might not have lost any weight (yet) but you ‘live’ in our house. Mini muffins, lentil chili, those almond strawberry cookies… When my husband tells me how delicious these new recipes are the response is always, “Britt’s recipe!” I talk about you like we just went out for coffee Hahaha. I appreciate all the work you’re putting into your website and the fb group. I feel better about myself just being a part of it.

I haven’t had a lot of words lately. My creativi I haven’t had a lot of words lately. My creativity is being used in other areas right now, I’m sure the words will find me again soon.⁣
⁣
In the meantime, for #transformationtuesday I want to honor the woman on the left who  took risks, followed her gut, and evolved through trial and fire into the woman on the right. ⁣
⁣
We are the same. ⁣
⁣
We are so very different.⁣
⁣
And I look forward to the day where the photo on the right becomes the photo on the left and I can step back and say, “look at all that we’ve become and have yet to become.”
My sister got married last weekend and I was final My sister got married last weekend and I was finally able to wear the dress I bought on clearance right before quarantine. 

It felt nice to get dressed up again. 💗
I posted this in stories last night but felt like I posted this in stories last night but felt like it should probably live on the feed too. ⁣
Growing up I thought the only reason someone would eat “healthy” was to lose weight. The way I thought about food evolved as an adult as I began to learn more about how important nutrition is.⁣
⁣
Eating well isn’t exclusive for weight loss. @syattfitness did a YouTube series where he ate a Big Mac every day for a month and lost 7 pounds because he stayed in a calorie deficit. You can literally eat anything and lose weight if the amount you’re eating keeps you in a deficit. But you cannot eat anything and be well.⁣
⁣
When I was a kid I would get these bumpy red spots on my upper arms, my doctor said it was keratosis pilaris, a common kid thing and that I would grow out of it. She wrote a prescription for a steroid cream and that was it.⁣
⁣
The steroid cream ran out but the bumps stayed. After my first pregnancy they began to spread, little bumps began to show up on my forearms, my upper thighs, then my bottom, and eventually my shins. I was super self conscious about it, I always wore sleeves and pants. Shorts were a major no-go, I don’t think I owned a single pair.⁣
⁣
Eventually I stopped hopping from fad diet to fad diet and I started to listen to my body and how it felt after I consumed certain foods. I began to experiment with food elimination and go-figure, not only did my over all health improve but things like those pesky bumps began to fade.⁣
⁣
My KP was a direct result of dietary choices I’d been making for years. These photos were captured only 30 days apart. As you can see my KP was aggravated after several months of indulgent eating. ⁣The photo on the right was taken after 30 days of eating mindfully and eliminating dairy and gluten again. 
⁣
Food matters. ⁣
⁣
I don’t care if you’re 500 pounds or 100– Our entire bodies are literally made up of and exist off what we consume, to think that the only thing food would affect is our weight is crazy. These bumps were a signal that my body was sending me to let me know that something wasn’t right, I spent 27 years of my life ignoring her. ⁣
⁣
It’s high time I choose to listen.
#fashun ⁣ ⁣ —> I finally created a LikeToKno #fashun ⁣
⁣
—> I finally created a LikeToKnowIt account. It’s an app where you can find clothes and products that people online wear. I’m always getting asked, about sunglasses, clothing, and products— I figured this might be easier. 🙂 You can find me over there @instantloss ⁣
⁣
I don’t know how I’d describe my fashion choices. Must be: comfortable, breathable, and cute. Probably a little boho, little surfer, little California girl. I like to show a little skin, so if my arms and legs are covered you’ll see a little tummy because I’m 31, not dead, and I told Brady that when I do die, he better bury me in a crop top. 💛✌️☀️⁣

ISO a tailor because GF is way too short for 99% of the things she buys. Rocks it anyway. Like mini trains everywhere I go.

Don’t mind the toothpaste splatter on my full length mirror, this is where my kids brush and floss 🤣. I lost 10.2 pounds during this months challenge. The scale doesn’t reflect one of those pounds because the day after my first weigh-in was the day that Brady and I decided to have our pizza veg day. 🎉 ⁣
⁣
Better than losing 10 pounds is the way I feel. I feel energized, excited to take on the day, less bloated and inflamed, slower to frustration, and I haven’t had an anxiety attack in 26 days! I am also much stronger! A hike that took Brady and I over an hour on day 1 took us 48 minutes yesterday and we still had energy for more!⁣

The benefits of a whole food diet extend far beyond weight loss. 💪 Join us for our next accountability challenge, it begins today, you can read more on DietBet.com/instantloss
We bought a farmhouse! 💗⁣ ⁣ Brady and I hav We bought a farmhouse! 💗⁣
⁣
Brady and I have talked about buying a house in another state for years. Before Instant Loss we were landlords and we’ve always been fixers. ⁣
⁣
This farmhouse was built in the 1970’s. It had some major reno work done in 2010 but unfortunately is going to need some foundation help. We’ll need to move a few walls, remodel the bathrooms and kitchen, add a master bedroom (because it doesn’t have one)— it’s going to be a whole house makeover. We’re on the job, and we’ll be hanging out in Texas this Summer as we get it all started!⁣
⁣
I’ll post photos of the house soon. Should I post here or start a new Instagram for our projects?
