fully loaded helps cherries smoothie

for the rim/garnish

1. Gather the necessary ingredients and materials: honey, hemp seeds, a small plate or shallow dish, and a glass.
2. Pour a small amount of honey onto the plate or shallow dish. The amount will depend on the size of the glass rim you want to coat.
3. Spread the honey evenly on the plate, making sure it covers an area slightly larger than the rim of the glass.
4. Take the glass and dip the rim into the honey, gently rotating it to ensure the honey coats the entire rim.
5. Lift the glass out of the honey and allow any excess to drip off.
6. Immediately after dipping the glass rim in honey, dip it into a separate plate or shallow dish filled with hemp seeds. Again, rotate the glass to ensure the hemp seeds stick to the honey-coated rim.
7. Gently tap the glass to remove any excess hemp seeds.
8. Place the glass upright and allow the honey and hemp seeds to dry and set for a few minutes.
9. Once the honey and hemp seeds have dried and set, your honey hemp seeds glass rim is ready to use.

Note: Make sure to handle the glass carefully to avoid dislodging the honey and hemp seeds. Additionally, be mindful of any allergies or dietary restrictions when serving drinks with a honey hemp seeds glass rim.

Morning Smoothie

Ingredients

1 cup frozen raspberries

2 Navitas frozen coconut pouches

1 cup cucumber infused water

1 scoop of SAKARA chocolate protein powder

1 scoop marine collagen powder

Method

For the cucumber-infused water, wash and slice one cucumber. Size doesn’t matter here. More cucumber equals more flavor, less cucumber equals less flavor. Or just add the whole cucumber, as you prefer. Add some salt, toss it into the water, and let it sit refrigerated for several hours. It’s best prepared in advance. Well worth it. Once infused, add it to a blender.

Add the remaining ingredients to the blending machine. Blend until smooth. Pour into glass of choice.

Bar Chef Note: It’s best to start layering ingredients by beginning with liquids, then adding half of the frozen fruits, followed by powders, and finally the remaining frozen fruits. I must confess, most of the time I start with water and then add the rest of the ingredients. However, let me know in the comments below if this order makes a difference for you. The order in which you blend the ingredients and the size or amount of cucumber(s) used.

Glass: silver coupe glass with ribbon (I have been saving velvet ribbons from packages. This one is a pink velvet. Isn’t it perfect.)

Garnish: none

Where to buy the goods and stuff? Ribbons, silver goblets, blé ding machines, protein powders are available on Blonde Behind the Bucket Storefront, of course.

I managed to put this one in a glass. More often than not I use the Cuisinart To Go cylinder and spoon (I don’t like to do extra dishes) but I need to apply makeup to my face today and transferred this one to a glass because. Inspired by my cluttered vanity, I decide to snap a few iPhone photos. This smoothie is a goodie. Sweet salty and satisfying. Tastes too good to be healthy but it is.

Mint Cacao Nibs Smoothie T#2

1/2 cup of Costco Signature brand unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/4 cup Whole Foods 365 frozen black cherries

1/2 frozen banana (peel and freeze your bananas)

1 1/2 cups of Whole Foods 365 brand chopped frozen kale

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 scoop Sakara Organic Protein + Greens Super Powder

1 scoop Agent Nateur Holi (mane) Hair, Skin, Nails Supplement

1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s agave (just enough to take the edge off the cacao nibs and greens)

12 fresh mint leaves and a sprig for garnish

1 1/2 tablespoons Navitas Organic cacao nibs and some to garnish

Handful of Pitaya Foods Aloe Vera pieces

Top with water for fluidity if consistency seems too thick as it should be l similar to a milkshake. The reason I needed water is because I ran out of almond milk and added the powders last. It worked out. This smoothie is a smooth creamy icy texture.

Method

Add all ingredients to your smoothie blending machine of choice. Hey Cuisinart, hey. Blend blend blend and maybe a pulse or two until smoothie. Pour into your glass and garnish.

Glass: bucket glass

Garnish: mint sprig and cacao nibs

If you like a mint and chocolate flavor profile, this is the smoothie for you. Packed full of antioxidants and does a body good goodness. Hemp seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds.. you don’t need to worry about adding all that FYI. Sakara Protein + Greens has you covered; All in one scoop in fact. And since our largest organ, our skin, radiates starting from the inside out, why wouldn’t use want to add the Agent Nateur pearl collagen calcium hair skin and nails powder supplement? Mint is for freshness. Kale because we need our greens. Cocoa nibs adds a bitter chocolate flavoring and which plays off the sweetness of the banana and pineapple’s acidity. Not to mention crunch. No added sugar with the unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Duh. There is a skosh of blue agave syrup though. Think if it as a balancing ingredient rather than sweet. Cinnamon a warming spice and blood sugar friendly.
