Tuesdays with Tucker™ {The Westie} ~ A Yummy Green Smoothie Gives the Artist a Creative Boost

I bet since we just embarked (haha…em”barked”…a perfect word for me!!) upon a new year, you are probably expecting me to throw out some exercise tips, healthy eating ideas, fun suggestions for you to do with your fur baby, and more to get you moving in the right direction.  Well, I don’t wanna leave you hanging so here goes…I’ve got a yummy recipe to share with you for a healthy smoothie!  Yep, remember we got Poppy one of those Vitamix machines for his birthday so he likes to request that mommy make smoothies for him.  And, she’s sweet to offer before he even asks!  Aren’t they cute?!!

So, being the “fly by the seat of her pants” smoothie queen that she is, she likes to open the fridge, survey the possibilities, and toss in a bit of “this and that” to create a new smoothie recipe.  And, I’ll be the first to tell you, sometimes they don’t look so appetizing…ok, alot of times!!  But, eh, that’s just me!  However, I’m not so sure what all the hype is over this green juice…thick green juice at that!  They like it though so I just smile, wag my tail, give ‘em a high five, and tell them I’m proud of them for being healthy.  Makes them feel good…you should try it with your people! Yesterday she made a really yummy smoothie because she and Poppy just can’t stop talking about it.  She even made it again today, and oh, dear, I think I heard her say she needed to write it down in her smoothie book so she wouldn’t forget one of their faves.  A smoothie book…gosh, they are serious about this, huh?!!

So, here goes…I’m not telling you measurements, per se…because, well, I’m not sure about them to be quite honest.  But, you can figure it out…just guess at how much you need of each ingredient based on how many people you want to serve.  Don’t make it harder than it is…you can always add more stuff!! My mom used a spinach/arugula mix {about 2 cups…about 1 cup if you are just making it for one person}, a green apple, purple seedless grapes {to your liking…they flavor it so nicely so add more or less depending on how you like your sweetness}, a few ice cubes {makes it nice and chilly!}, and a scoop {or 2…Poppy likes 2!…and, he’s bigger than mommy so he needs more, right?!!} of protein powder.  And, voila…yummy, yummy…they love it!! I think you will, too…well, that is if you like THICK GREEN JUICE!!!

I suppose it gives them energy, too, because mommy has been busy in her studio painting and creating!  Here’s a WIP!

I’ve got something fun and creative to share with you next week so be sue to stop by to see what I’ve got up my sleeve paw!  🙂

Big, Cozy Hugs to You!!
