Why I Love Crafted Smoothie Blends

I cannot tell you how much I love love Dole’s new Crafted Smoothie Blends! Why do I love them?

• They’re four versions of fruit, veggie and herb mixes. And, some with spices!
• They’re packaged in convenient 8 ounce packages.
• They are guaranteed to be fresh frozen fruit, and you get large nice chunks.
• You can create artisan smoothies in no time at all!

And, when I make smoothies, I make a lot of it because these smoothies will keep refrigerated for a couple of days. No kidding. I just put them in Ball or Mason jars and in the refrigerator. Now, I KNOW these smoothies are exceptionally delicious and nutritious. Just check out the ingredients. Another way I know is that I’ve taken them to share with my yoga friends after class, sometimes as many as 20 yoginis, all standing around sipping refreshing smoothies after a good workout. And, I recently took a large batch to my physical therapy. Yep, got a bum shoulder and am doing PT for it, so I thought why wouldn’t everyone there love a little ‘Ally Love’ that could do nothing but perk up their healing process! And, I was right! From folks who were nearly octogenarians to Millennials, all of there for one reason or another, loved a sip of a healthy refreshing smoothie.

These smoothie bowls make a wonderful breakfast, lunch or snack. If you want to add some granola, then it’s almost like you’re having a dessert rather than something that’s really good for you. I keep on hand various things to add to my smoothies including maca, dried wheatgrass, organic cacao, gogi berries, flax seeds, chia seeds, milled flax and chia, acai powder, and spirulina powder. These ingredients help boost your nutrients and bottom line this is good for you. Smoothies are a great way to get these superfoods into your diet. And, I guarantee you’re gonna LOVE these bowls of goodliness! xox ~ally
