Ā A few months back my mom encouraged me to buy a Nutribullet. The Nutribullet has been a great addition to our countertop, and takes up barely any space. A few weeks ago I posted about my ‘Top Ten Kitchen Gadgets For an Active Kitchen‘, which is now completely shoppable. I was never into smoothies, but after living in Miami the past three years, I found myself stopping at a juice bar almost as many times as I used to pull through the drive-through. Not only can this be detrimental to your wallet, but you miss the added benefit that goes along with drinking a fiber and protein filled smoothie. I try to have a largeĀ Nutribullet every morning, after I have my tea, and before I head to the gym. I found that my mood changes every day, and so do the contents of my refrigerator, but whether I am feeling bloated, hungry or have a sweet-tooth, I have found that there is a smoothie to cure every ailment, and I wanted to share my favorite recipes with you here. I am so happy that I now have a quick, healthy way to start my day, that keeps me satisfied until I get back from my workout!
