You can enjoy this kiwi smoothie the traditional way in a glass with a straw—or you can turn it into a smoothie bowl and top it with granola, fresh fruit, nut butter, or seeds. Just add less liquid to make it nice and thick, pour in a bowl, and add what you like!

We like to make smoothies higher in protein by adding flavored protein powder and Greek yogurt. Not only does this make your green smoothie a little healthier, but it decreases the chance for crashing later in the day!

Ingredients:

  • Spinach: Spinach is so easy to sneak into smoothies for some extra veggies. Don’t worry—you won’t even taste it!
  • Rockit™ Apples 
  • Kiwi: Sliced & diced is best. Easier to blend!
  • Vanilla Protein Powder
  • Yogurt: Helps create a creamy texture and add extra protein! I used Two Good Vanilla Yogurt.

Instructions:

  1. Add frozen spinach to your blender with cold filtered water. Blend for 20-30 seconds until smooth. It will look like green juice!
  2. Add the Rockit™ apples and frozen kiwi.
  3. Add protein powder, almond milk, and yogurt to the blender. IMPORTANT: You want to layer the protein powder between other ingredients. If it is directly against the blade, it may acquire a burnt taste after blending. Then, blend on high for 30-45 seconds or until smooth.
  4. Pour in your glass or bowl, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Recipe by: Courtney Paige | @apaigeofpositivity

INGREDIENTS 

  • Broccoli – Instead of lettuce, we are using crunchy, fresh broccoli in this Waldorf Salad.
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Sharp cheddar has the perfect salty and tangy bite that nicely contrasts the sweet apples in this salad.
  • Onion – Use red for a little bit more bitterness.
  • Rockit™ Apples – Rockit™ apples have just the right amount of tartness and just the right amount of sweetness. They’re so juicy too.
  • Greek Yogurt – Yogurt will be the base of our Waldorf Salad dressing. This lightens up a what could be a heavy, cream-based dressing and adds a bit of protein too.
  • Light Mayo – To thicken up the yogurt dressing a bit.
  • Salt & Parsley – Added to the dressing for a balance of flavors.

DIRECTIONS

  • First, we will chop our produce: If your broccoli isn’t already cut into florets, chop into bite size pieces. If you buy a pre-cut bag of broccoli, cut any larger pieces. The smaller the better with this salad! Finely dice the red onion. Dice Rockit™ apples.
  • Then, add produce to a large mixing bowl along with cheddar cheese.
  • For the dressing, in a smaller bowl combine greek yogurt, light mayo, salt, and parsley. Mix until combined.
  • Add dressing to the large bowl and toss well until all broccoli florets are covered.
  • Enjoy!
