Smoothies are regular breakfast fare around our home. They are so healthy and delicious! My children have no idea of all the healthy "extras" I sneak into their smoothies. Virgin coconut oil, flax seed, powdered herbs and powdered probiotics are just a few of the healthy additions that can be disguised in a delicious breakfast smoothie. I always feel like I am giving my children a great start to their day when we begin the morning with a power-packed smoothie!
One thing I am always sure to put in our smoothies is a few teaspoons of Daily Boost Herba-Smoothie from

The Daily Boost Herba-Smoothie is a combination of Siberian ginseng, Hawthorn berries, Bilberry fruit, Ginkgo Burdock root, Horsetail/shavegrass and Oatstraw. It comes in a powdered form so that your body can easily digest and assimilate the herbs. You can read about the vitamin and mineral content of each of these herbs at the Bulk Herb Store. They also carry a Circulatory Herba-Smootie and Heart Healthy Herba-Smoothie, as well as plain powdered herbs to make your own combinations.
Here is a great basic smoothie recipe that I use to make my Berry-Banana Smoothies:
1 cup yogurt, kefir or coconut milk (I use plain whole fat yogurt)
1-2 cups frozen fruit (I used banana, strawberries and blueberries)
1 cup juice (orange juice or pineapple juice)
1-2 Tbls sweetener (I do not find it necessary to use sweetener if I use my frozen summer produce.)
1-2 Tbls coconut oil (optional)
1-2 Tbls flax seed (optional)
1-2 tsp. Daily Boost Herba-Smoothie
You can create a smoothie for virtually any diet with this basic recipe. Don't be afraid to experiment with vegetables in your smoothies as well. I once made a smoothie using fresh kale and my children loved it! In fact, they have been asking me, "Mommy, when are you going to make that green smoothie again?"
Here's a great recipe and video tutorial from the Bulk Herb Store for some more smoothie inspiration! Enjoy!
