Creamy Cherry Pistachio Smoothie

Mmmmmmm. Cherries. This has to be hands down the best smoothie I've ever made. It was delightfully creamy, tangy, and sweet with a distinct flavor kick from the roasted pistachios. Usually I lean toward almonds when making anything with cherries, but I'm glad I decided to switch it up a little and try something different. I also used a honey flavored Greek yogurt, which added tremendously to the creamy texture and gave a soft sweetness to combat the tang of the cherries. It was really good. I'm already thinking about making another batch!

Blueberry Banana Smoothie with Spinach, Avocado, and Walnuts

Happy Halloween, everyone! I cannot believe how the last several days have gotten away from me; I had planned to make something particularly Halloweeny for this post, but simply did not have the time. I did have the time, however, to make this really yummy and healthy smoothie. There’s no pumpkin or chocolate in it (it’s not even orange!), but it is pretty delicious and very good for you! The blueberries and spinach are full of antioxidants and vitamins, the walnuts provide a bit of protein and omega 3s, the banana adds fiber and potassium, the milk provides calcium and Vitamin D, and the avocado adds a yummy creaminess along with other health benefits (read more about the “alligator pear” HERE).

It may not be Halloween themed, but perhaps it will help combat all those Halloween treats we’ve all been consuming!
