Shamrock ShakeWith St. Paddy’s day coming up, I figured it was time to share all our favorite GREEN foods with you!
A kid-friendly spin on the classic shamrock shake, we use kale + spinach to naturally color our shake green. Our version tastes like a banana milkshake and is naturally sweetened by dates!Immune Boosting Citrus SmoothieNow that winter is in full swing, I like to boost my family’s immune system with all my tried and true natural remedies. Our smoothie is packed with oranges rich in Vitamin C, carrots loaded with beta-carotene and Vitamin A (which helps your body create more white blood cells to fight off infection), dates rich with phytonutrients that can stimulate the immune system, manuka honey which is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti- bacterial (optional for our vegan friends), and ginger that produces strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Mint Chocolate Hot CocoaNow that the colder winter months have arrived, it’s time to bundle up with our plant-based hot chocolate! Made with Happy Way Cacao Mint Hemp Protein Powder (#sponsored), this superfood powder adds mint chocolate flavor plus a scoop of fiber, iron, and magnesium. It’s also rich in omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids that help energy production and strengthen the immune system. Gluten-free, vegan friendly, non GMO, and organically grown, it’s also rich in antioxidants from the added chia seeds!

Would you believe that you can get such a rich green color from spinach rather than using the unhealthy chemicals from food dye??
