this smoothie is like comfort in a drink, and also my first smoothie i’ve ever made with granola in it. i’m kind of wishing i had one to sip on right now actually … it would seriously hit the spot.

this recipe was originally created by martha stewart then modified into this smoothie.

you will need (served about 2-3):
1/2 cup – plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup – almond coconut milk
1 banana cut into thirds
1/4 cup – granola 
2 teaspoons – honey 
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup – ice


combine together in a blender until smooth and enjoy. 

this smoothie is currently one of my favorites. it’s by martha stewart and actually, in the beginning, i was a bit hesitant to try it. i like my drinks sweet and fresh and the idea of avocado in a smoothie was a bit intimidating but also kind of intriguing. honestly, it doesn’t taste anything like i thought it would. it is seriously amazing and the orange juice just goes perfectly with the other flavors. try it … you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

lately, my favorite thing to do in the morning is to make a fabulous drink that is perfect for those first early hours of the day. i’ve been trying a bunch of different combinations over the past few weeks, some better than others, and i thought i would share with you a few of my favorites over the next little bit. the first one is a combination of peaches and pineapples that i think is just delicious.

you will need (serves two):

1 cup of pineapple chunks
1 cup of frozen peaches
1/2 cup of greek yogurt (i used an orange honey flavored one)
1/2 of a banana sliced
1/2 cup of pineapple coconut juice
1/2 cup of ice

mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and enjoy!
