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 fuel it with awesome food!
Excercise with a side of smoothie 😉 fuel me~
I go for a walk in the woods with my granddaughters everyday.
I make & keep chia puddings (protein powder added into the mix) in the fridge for go-to snacks & meal replacements. I blend bananas & strawberries with coconut or almond milk for smoothies or frozen treats. And there’s nothing like a mixed salad of bright greens & spinach leaves with apple cider vinegar/olive oil dressing to keep the engine revved.
My daughter and I make smoothies almost every morning. She has to be at school so early she really does not feel like eating food. This would be great to boost her immunity for school.
I fuel my awesomeness with healthy breakfasts like oatmeal, cereal and fruit or yogurt. I eat vegetarian also during the day.
I like to have smoothies with either protein powder or high protein Greek yogurt and various fruits to fuel up!
I fuel my awesomeness by maintaining a Vegan diet. I feel so much better.
I eat oatmeal with apples & cranberries
I try to drink juice that has vegetables in it
I use to have a lot of respritory issues .. Recently I notice when I bought smoothies after work I felt better….Therefore I decided to make them at home instead.. Now I feel awesome in the mornings.. Also I see you use turmeric powder… That is one ingredie
nt that i want to try in one of my smoothies!
I bet my fuel through coffee! Love the stuff but I know it’s not enough.
My favorite is a Chocolate peanut butter smoothie. Chocolate peanut butter protein, teaspoon peanut butter, silk light chocolate silk and ice. Blend in the bullet… Can’t get much better than that!
I always try to eat some fruits and vegetables at least every day!
I keep trying to like the whole smoothie bowl idea, but it just weirds me out. It’s like putting spaghetti in a glass or eating broccoli on a stick.
