It may seem that I have been obsessed with smoothies this week.

I can’t help it. I get REALLY excited to find how many nutrients I can stuff into a blender and into my body. My Kissed by an Angel Smoothie meets my food requirements of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It also satisfies my teenage daughter’s requirements for taste.

Angel has identified as Peanut Butter since the age of three.

My skin looks like chocolate and her father’s vanilla, so she placed herself in the peanut butter category when looking at her skin. This still tickles me because when it comes to dessert, out of all of the flavors, I don’t know anyone who loves chocolate more than her.

Our kitchen has become a lab over the past few months.

Some of my experiments have bombed, and the children quickly let me know their displeasure. A lot of my successes have been aimed more at the adult palette. So, it was a pleasant surprise when my favorite chocolate lover gave me two thumbs up on this one.

This Kissed by an Angel Smoothie is chock-full of potassium, protein, Vitamin C, and chlorophyll. It can be made for breakfast or a snack when looking for an energy boost. Enjoy!
