This time of year, with vacations, kids out of school, back-to-back plans, and the need for continuous convenience, healthy eating habits can easily fall by the wayside.
For me, the best way of ensuring I get the nutrition I need in the midst of all the running around, is to maintain a stock of solid resources in my pantry and a plethora of fresh produce in my refrigerator – that way, I can whip something up on-the-go and stay fueled in an efficient, high-impact way.
I saw a quote the other day that resonated with me – “Self-care isn’t selfish. You can’t serve on an empty tank.”
One of the issues we have as independent, hard-working individuals is taking the time to nurture and uplift ourselves before trying to do so for others.
We feel like we aren’t being good people when we’re giving to ourselves, when in reality, we become more a more valuable resource when we’re operating at full capacity.
One crucial way of showing ourselves we care is by feeding our bodies!
I love that Bob’s Red Mill strongly advocates nutrition and brings it to your home with effortless convenience. They’re here to help fill your energy tank in the most positive ways.
I find supplementing my smoothies with high-quality protein powder ensures it is a well-balanced experience, versus all just carbs. I used Bob’s Red Mill’s Vanilla Protein Powder Nutritional Booster to add a nutrition boost (and delicious vanilla flavor) to this smoothie.
You can use your favorite protein powder or add in some collagen peptides. Hemp protein is always one of my favorites.
In an era with so many opinions about health flying around helter-skelter, I think it’s important to keep a hard stance and be an advocate for your own health. Only you know what’s right for you!
This immunity-boosting smoothie is packed with nutrients to support a healthy immune system and keep you strong during your day-to-day busy life.
In case you’d like to customize this smoothie to your liking, here are some options for…
Recipe Adaptations:
- Reduce the orange juice to ½ cup, and add ¼ cup of full-fat canned coconut milk for rich, creamy texture.
- Use carrot juice in place of orange juice.
- Add fresh grated ginger to support healthy digestion.
- Add a handful of spinach for an even bigger nutrient boost.

I love to bake & enjoyed going to Bob’s Red Mills store in Milwaukie. My Son calls it my happy place. Last month I was diagnosed with high cholesterol & high sugar. Now I have to change my diet & eating habits. I would love to try those healthy smoothies except I’m not sure where to start and what to purchase. I tried those protein powder before & it tasted somewhat chalky or maybe I’m not making the proper mix. I had googled some recipes except I’m a bit hesitant to try again.
I drink Carnation Instant Breakfast every morning. I also take vitamins and eat a banana in the car.
Walking out the door to fresh blueberries raspberries cherries and strawberries this time of year! Lucky to be able to grow them at home!!!
