happy new year busy views what is
everyone's number one New Year's
resolution to eat healthier of course
during my last doctor's appointment for
the baby the doctor actually told me to
stop gaining too much weight so eating
healthy is number one on my list
like I said I overindulged a little bit
too much during the holidays but not to
worry I have seven life changing
smoothies that'll help get our nutrients
in and using all the colors of the
rainbow I'm starting with pink which is
the aloha power punch first I'm grabbing
half a cup of frozen strawberries throw
them in a blender half a cup of frozen
pineapples same thing with half a banana
two tablespoons of rinsed quinoa for
some extra protein one tbsp of shredded
coconut flakes one cup of coconut milk a
quarter cup of Greek yogurt a tablespoon
of maple syrup to sweeten things up and
some ice now I'm gonna give everything a
whirl look at that baby come together
mm-hmm perfect I'll pour it in my glass
[Music]
it's the perfect baby pink color so
pretty stick a straw in it OOP too far
enjoy ah so good the pineapple and
coconut gives it that tropical flavor
and the Greek yogurt in quinoa gives it
that extra boost of protein to help us
build muscles all right now I'm gonna
move on to my next color which is yellow
for the vitamin C monster all right we
have half a cup of frozen mangoes throw
that into the blender half a banana half
a cup of frozen peaches quarter cup or a
scoop of Greek yogurt a tablespoon of
chia seeds to get things moving I love
adding chia seeds to smoothies because
it has a ton of vitamins and nutrients
like proteins fiber and omega-3 fatty
acids to really amp up the smoothies a
tablespoon of honey 1/2 a cup of orange
juice then to make it creamy half a cup
of soy milk some ice throw that in the
blender and let's give it a whirl
hmm look at that beautiful yellow shade
come together I love all the speckles
from the chia seeds too that was so good
when the chia seeds mixed with liquid it
gelatinizes and it helps to thicken up
our smoothie this one also tastes like a
tropical creamsicle and it's one of my
favorites okay now moving on to the next
color which is orange we have the
anti-inflammatory smoothie I have one
carrot that I'll just chop up dump into
the blender one cup of cut papayas fresh
papayas are one of the healthiest fruits
in the world it has vitamin B vitamin C
and folate which is great for pregnancy
half a cup of frozen mangoes half a
banana we're going for another tropical
theme here a small piece of ginger that
I've cut and peeled a tablespoon of
pumpkin seeds because it has tons of
vitamin C a quarter cup or a scoop of
Greek yogurt again for protein half a
teaspoon of turmeric for its
anti-inflammation properties 3/4 of a
cup of orange juice and some ice now
blend baby blend we get a vibrant orange
color from the carrot papaya and tumeric
here gorgeous
I love the hint of sweetness from the
papaya and the carrot and the turmeric
is not overpowering at all you guys
should definitely give this one a try
okay now our next one is green for the
super energy charger I'm using some Dino
kale that I've chopped up add to the
blender half a banana half of a green
apple half of an avocado to add some
natural creaminess half a cup of frozen
pineapples some parsley to clean out
your system if your breath is a little
unsavory the parsley will clean that
right up a tablespoon of walnuts for
some healthy fat one and a quarter cups
of coconut water a squeeze of lemon two
really fresh and everything up and some
ice now let's let Aurel this is super
green the ultimate green smoothie
[Music]
I always feel good drinking something
green and the healthy fats in this from
the avocado and the walnuts will really
keep my energy levels up throughout the
day
okay now I'm moving on to my next color
which is blue for the antioxidant power
boost here I have one cup of frozen
blueberries dump it in the blender half
a cup of frozen strawberries half a
banana a quarter cup of Greek yogurt our
favorite some chia seeds for some extra
antioxidant boost half a cup of
pomegranate juice 1/2 a cup of cooled
green tea because that's also full of
antioxidants and some ice blend blend
blend mix mix mix the blueberries and
the palm juice here really give it that
deep blue almost purple light color it's
so gorgeous I love it I really love the
combo of green tea and pomegranate and I
really get that hint of sweetness and
there from all the fruits so blueberries
green tea and pomegranate have a ton of
antioxidants so I feel good drinking
this ok moving on to our next color
which is purple for brain power I'll
start with one frozen pack of acai I'm
using unsweetened but you can use
sweetened half a cup of frozen
blackberries half a banana half a cup of
frozen strawberries a must-have in
almost all smoothies 1 tablespoon of
dried goji berries the goji berries here
help to reduce any damaging inflammation
and removes toxins from the brain which
is why we call it the brain power
smoothie 1 tbsp of almonds also for some
healthy fat one tablespoon of chia seeds

and some ice I think of this movie kind
of like an acai bowl with my favorite
toppings blend it up now that's purple
of purple mountains majesty it's a
majestic purple here beautiful let's
give it a try okay
[Music]
the acai has a really distinct flavor
and it tastes great in this smoothie the
smoothie is kind of like an acai bowl on
the run okay moving on to our last
smoothie for brown we're gonna have be
awake smoothie even though the smoothie
uses coffee it's not your typical
Frappuccino type smoothie it's like a
breakfast all-in-one I have four squares
of dark chocolate that I'll just drop
into the blender one whole banana 1/4
cup of rolled oats 1/2 a cup of Greek
yogurt a tablespoon of peanut butter
scoop it out 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1/2 a cup of strongly brewed and cooled
coffee and a giant scoop of ice for this
one I'll blend it all together it's
almost like a Frappuccino but so much
healthier for you mmm I'm also loving
