Yesterday, I was really craving something sweet, so the boys and I had Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothies for a snack, and it more than satisfied that craving. Thick smoothies like this are perfect as a meal substitution or potent snack, they’re a great way to up your protein during Lent, and my kids love them.

Pomegranate BP Reducing Protein Smoothie
Protein smoothies are a regular part of our diet, and since I have struggled with hypertension since my first pregnancy, I add a shot of pomegranate juice to mine. It makes it taste even more delicious and helps keep my blood pressure down.
Sparkling Pomegranate Drink
This is a refreshing drink, beautifully festive for any holiday gathering.
Purple Monster Fruit Smoothie
This is a great smoothie for breakfast, and sometimes dinner! If you are not fasting or looking for a strict vegetarian smoothie, you can substitute the orange juice with any mix of juices or even an even split of whole milk and plain yogurt.
Energizer Smoothie
I love smoothies. Almost every smoothie I make is yogurt-based. I enjoy that this one is a vegan recipe, so I can drink it when I’m doing a Daniel Fast or when I’m just not in the mood for dairy.
Homemade Cinnamon Roll Coffee Creamer
I love this recipe because there is no sugar in it; it uses maple syrup as the sweetener. The addition of the almond extract is the perfect flavor to make your cup of coffee taste like a cinnamon roll right out of the oven.
Homemade French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
I love this recipe because there is no sugar in it; it uses maple syrup as the sweetener. With just three simple ingredients, you have a delicious, creamy, wonderful concoction with which to sweeten and lighten your morning coffee.
High Protein Breakfast Smoothie
We love smoothies. I use organic plain yogurt, so there is no added sugar there, and whey powder that doesn’t have any artificial sweeteners in it. It’s an amazing and healthy breakfast that is easily consumed “on the run,” and I have this for breakfast at least once a week, and often for a mid-morning snack.
Wonderful Watermelon-Berry Wonder Smoothie
My eldest son, Scott, loves watermelon. He loves it so much that his second birthday cake was in the shape of a watermelon. We are really fans of the flavor, and this smoothie lets that wonderful watermelon flavor come through.
