Get ready for lots of blog content as I am finally feeling recovered from my surgery enough to get to my computer and type! Two days ago, I had an umbilical hernia repair as result from my pregnancy with Emileo. I'm not exactly sure why or how it happened - but here I am still recovering from the damage that Emileo wreaked on my body. Between that, and getting the COVID-19 vaccine shortly after surgery, I've basically been in a coma for the past 2 days. As I crawl my way out of it, I felt inspired to share some smoothie recipes that I'll be creating over and over this summer.
So.... what is a Mason Jar Smoothie?
Due to my busy schedule, I religiously take Sundays as my day to refresh and reset for the week. This makes Sunday a great day to prep for my Mason Jar Smoothies. Basically, all I do is prep and portion out the non-liquid ingredients (fruit, herbs, etc) and freeze them in Mason Jars, and pull out exactly what I'm in the mood for, add the remaining ingredients, and blend! It's truly a minimal-mess operation. Below are my favorite recipes for the Summer months!
