Episode 56: Uplevel Your Smoothies

Do you love smoothies in the morning?

Smoothies have always been something I love. They are quick and healthy, and I can take them to go. But coming up with the ingredients to include was always a pain for me.

And when I buy the individual ingredients, it would get costly, and about half of the ingredients would go to waste as I couldn’t use it quick enough. And honestly, depending on what veggies I was trying to add, it did not always turn out drinkable. hahah

I want my smoothies to be healthy and full of ingredients that will benefit my health. So when I came across Blender Bites, I fell in LOVE.

When I first came across them, they had 2 smoothie blends; Greens & Berries and Greens & Tropical. While the tropical blend is delish, my favorite is the Greens & Berries – I love my blueberries!

With their pucks, you get everything you need, all you need to do is basically add your liquid of choice, which mine is almond milk. The pucks include an Organic Greens Blend which contains Barley grass, Spirulina, Wheatgrass, Broccoli, Chlorella, Kale, Spinach – and you don’t even taste it!

My go to recipe for my smoothies is as follows:

• Blender Bites Greens & Berries
• Almond Milk
• Coconut Yogurt
• Spinach or Kale (I always add a bit more because I like it)
• Coconut chunks
• Hemp Hearts
• Flax Seeds (grounded up)
• Sproos Collagen
• Cinnamon

So being such a fan of Blender Bites, I was thrilled to chat with the Founder Chelsie Hodge about the products but also about her journey to creating them.

Chelsie has a wealth of knowledge and shares how she turned an idea into a successful business. We chat about how she managed a full time job while starting her business working evenings and all weekends for 3 years….can you imagine!?

She talks about how she nurtures the relationship with herself amidst the go go schedule of running a thriving business.

So if you have an idea, and are looking to learn from someone who has accomplished what you are about to embark on, grab a comfy seat and a cup of organic tea and get ready to learn some tips from a pro!
