Super Smoothies

When soaked, nutritious chia seeds swell creating a gelatin-like texture which adds a creamy body to the smoothie. But, if you're in a rush feel free to skip that step.

Peanut butter, banana, and cocoa...what's not to love? We bet having this on the breakfast menu will get the kids out of bed.

Kids won't even notice if you slip a little spinach into this sweet smoothie.

This creamy drink tastes like the tropics, and the avocado adds an incredible silkiness. Opt for frozen mango chunks if you prefer a shake-like smoothie.

This drink tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass. Bonus: it's packed with Vitamin A and a good source of calcium.

Chewy dates are like nature's candy. Opt for sticky Medjool dates if you can find them, and for a super-smooth texture soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes before blending.
