Making Smoothies, DELICIOUS AND GOOD for ya-Brandy this is for you!




One of the health things we have added to our diet is the addition of Kefir. And since I am not especially fond of the tartness that homemade Kefir brings I add this to our daily smoothie. (you can buy kefir at the grocery store, plain or flavored!) This smoothie is CHALK FULL of nourishing things. I am sure that most of you will think we have gone off the deep end with all this, but I promise it really has aided in keeping us function well and staying healthy so we can walk in the path the Lord has called us to each and everyday! Whew..thats a long sentence! But, Justin, Katie and I try to have a smoothie everyday or at least every other day. It makes a wonderful snack-fills us up in the afternoon and our digestive system gets a head start before dinner. Plus it is delicious! Directions...add everything to your blender and blend! Enjoy!

Note to Brandy Lynn Seago!
Girl, finally I am able to get this to you! Most of the things I order are from www.vitacost.com. They have the best prices and a simple $5 shipping fee, which sometimes you can get a coupon for and then it will be free!

Somethings I add most times that you didn't see...a large spoonful of coconut oil and whole flax seeds.

Oh, and since I make homemade kefir and you don't at least for now :) just by some whole fat yogurt (Stoneyfields makes a good one) or kefir from the store. You can buy flavored or the plain. We add frozen fruit too like you know. You can add anything that you like-peaches,blueberries,strawberries,bananas,pineapple,apples, grapes,etc. I have found that adding frozen and not simply fresh this makes it much more thick and we like it this way. The bananas I just buy, peel then freeze myself. Blueberries/strawberries too if I can go and pick them...but I know that you know how to do this and I will be looking for photos sometime in the spring/fall when you go picking! Let me know if you need other thoughts or if I have made this confusing. Rock on sweet Brandy! Work hard at loving Jesus and John and in the midst of it all--HAVE FUN!
