Hello dear readers - Crissie, from Chicasaurus-Rex here! Guess what? It's Fashion Week again... This year I am juggling a new job, a new blog and a few shows to cover... (I'm pretty excited about it, actually!) But I'm also loading up on vitamin packed fruits and veggies so I can stay happy and healthy all week long.
The easiest way to do that? Green smoothies! I like making mine with: a. Orange Juice, b. Bananas, c. Kale, d. Pears, a squirt of honey and a little almond milk (my sister swaps out the pears for blueberries and yogurt for milk - also delish!) Being your resident Foodie Fashionista, no food is complete without an outfit to accompany it, so I bring you the Fashion Week Survival Outfit (inspired by the Fashion Week Survival Smoothie):
Do you have a favorite green smoothie?
xo, Crissie
I make the same smoother and sub the pear for strawberries and add greek yogurt :) Kale is so healthy for you and to me, the strawberries mask the taste. Love the Asos skirt--too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI start off with kale and oj too, then I throw in mango, strawberries and peaches with honey, and sometimes a dollop of greek yogurt. Also, I'm totally snagging that iPhone case in green.
ReplyDeleteLovely ensemble, your blog is great. noe @ www.hotcelebration.com
ReplyDeleteis kale the must eat food b/c I'm seeing it everywhere and yet to try it.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to get a new blender or my juicer out of storage. That sounds so good and healthy!
ReplyDeleteIf you need someone to carry your...anything I would be happy to assist during Fashion Week. (It's on my list of things to do in my life!)
this is fantastic - i love the colors in that outfit. my favorite smoothie is yogurt, oj, bananas, strawberries, blueberries. I add peanut butter sometimes and honey:)
ReplyDeleteIt's not green, but I make a banana smoothie with ice, a banana, a scoop of orange juice concentrate and a little bit of vanilla coffee creamer. It is delightful and fairly healthy!
ReplyDeleteOooh! That sounds delish. Pear makes a lot of green juices taste better! I usually add a bit of superfood to mine! That mint skirt...I just die...
ReplyDeleteGreen Smoothies are the best. Try my recipe: Spinach, Green Apple, Avocado, Lime juice and coconut oil. I add flax oil and Soy Lecithin to real kick it up a notch on the nutritional value when I need a boost!

Sounds wonderful. I have a smoothie every morning made from yogurt, apple, banana, and anything else I have to throw in. Great way to get a lot of fruit and vegetable into the diet, and they are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI will try your version.

I gotta get myself a vita mix before I go green. My stinkin blender needs to find the closest trash can! Cutie blog!!
ReplyDeleteI have a green smoothie every morning and in the mix goes a banana, 1/2 c. raw oatmeal, tons of spinach, a frozen tropical fruit mix and then just enough water to make my blender happy. I feel like it's the best way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteI do now... this looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright green flat to match x kat
those flats and iphone case is awesome! going to go buy them now :D thanks for the share
ReplyDeletei bought one yesterday from bolthouse that even had garlic in it... that good it tasted like apples and oranges... haha!

love mint / green colour!! just great...!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo! Especially the blouse and flats. My fav green smoothie is pretty similar - lots of kale, OJ, frozen blueberries and strawberries, a splash of coconut water, and a spoonful of hemp protein powder :)
ReplyDeleteHow much of everything do you need to prepair this smoothie.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the combination of the leopard print & emerald green. What an incredibly chic outfit!
