Alright, mamas, let’s talk about mornings. Whether you’ve been up all night with a teething baby, hustling your kiddos out the door for school, or desperately clinging to your cup of coffee like it’s your lifeline (we’ve all been there), starting the day off right can feel like a pipe dream.

Enter: the Glow-Up Green Smoothie.

This isn’t just another “health drink” that tastes like grass clippings. No, no. This little gem is packed with the kind of goodness your body and taste buds will thank you for. Think of it as your secret weapon for energy, glow, and just feeling like the badass mom you are—no matter what chaos the day throws at you.

What’s Inside and Why It Works

• Spinach
  Because we all need more greens, and spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Bonus: it’s mild enough that you (and maybe even your picky eater) won’t taste it.

• Avocado
  Creamy, dreamy, and full of healthy fats to keep you satisfied longer. Avocados also give your skin that lit-from-within glow. Who doesn’t want that?

• Almond Milk
  Smooth, nutty, and a low-calorie base that keeps this smoothie light yet filling. Plus, it’s a great source of vitamin E for that extra glow.

• Honey
  A touch of natural sweetness to balance out the greens. Honey is nature’s candy—sweet, satisfying, and a great energy booster.

The Recipe

Here’s how to blend your way to a better morning:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1 large handful of fresh spinach (about 1 cup)

• 1/2 ripe avocado

• 1/2 frozen banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)

• 1 tsp honey (or adjust to taste)

• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional but delightful)

• A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a frosty finish)

Instructions:

1. Toss all the ingredients into your blender. Pro tip: put the liquid in first to avoid any blender tantrums.

2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

3. Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed.

4. Pour into your favorite glass, pop in a straw, and sip like the queen you are.

Glow-Up Challenge

Here’s your mission: Make this smoothie every morning for a week. See how you feel. Notice the energy boost, the clearer skin, and maybe even a little less of that afternoon slump. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back for choosing YOU.

So, are you ready to give your mornings a glow-up? This smoothie has your name written all over it. Make it, sip it, and let it remind you that you deserve to feel as amazing as you make everyone else’s lives.

Cheers to glowing mornings!
