Strawberry Fields Smoothie

Happy Fri-YAYYY! This week has been filled with fun, but I am ready for the weekend. Luke and I were dreaming of summer all week, so our latest smoothie is summer inspired for all of you who are still battling the cold! 

Strawberries are a gift from God, I am convinced.  They are so sweet and so delicious. Strawberry smoothies are absolutely amazing. They blend and freeze well, which make them perfect for this week's #freezerlovefriday recipe, the Strawberry Fields Smoothie. Be warned, this smoothie will make you desperately want to be poolside! 

Strawberry Fields Smoothie
Yields: 2 Pint Size Mason Jars 

Ingredients and Directions:

10 large strawberries
2 teaspoons honey
2 cups ice
1 cup water

Blend all ingredients, set aside. 

1 cup spinach
1  cup kale
7-10 leaves of fresh cilantro
½ cup orange juice
½ cup water
1 cup ice 

Blend all ingredients. 
Pour in the strawberry mixture and top with the green smoothie mixture. You can do ½ and ½ or whatever ratio you would like. 

As promised I have a new way to freeze this one, mason jars!! You can get them super inexpensive from Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store. 

This method of freezing works great for people who work or need to rush out of the door in the morning. Freezing them in mason jars lets them naturally thaw, meaning by mid day when you need your daily smoothie dose, it will be ready to go. I love to have a few of these options ready to go for when we go on hikes or spend the morning at the park. When they have thawed out, give them a good shake and ENJOY!

Happy freezing,
