A few months back I went on a health kick in which I followed a vegetarian/clean eating only lifestyle. This coming from a woman who once felt passionately about bacon needing to be its own food group.--was a stretch. One of the worst arguments I've had with my hubs was when he tried to tell me how to cook #jimmydean sausage. 10 years later and my infamously ridiculous statement still hits a nerve : "don't tell me about pork, my family has been making sausage for over 500 years!!".
I'm no longer strictly vegetarian but I have stuck to my daily regime of a healthy smoothie, and split it with my 11month old baby girl. Even at a very early age I think little babies can appreciate self-care. This smoothie is fantastic for both health and beauty. It Helps make your skin shiny, hair silky, nails grow just a bit stronger, and your digestion stays right on track. Hence, the name, and honestly none of my boys like Avacado so it's "a girl thing" in our house.
I get the whole juicing thug, but with smoothies I use the entire fruit/vegetable and it's delish! The key here for health and taste is to incorporate one veggie, one fruit, and a health boost of grains or vinegar. This one is my favorites right now, packed full of healthy omegas, fiber, and protein. All vital elements to nutrition and brain development. I blend it the night before, takes me 10 mins to prep and then the morning goes as smooth as silk.
