Bloat be gone smoothie reminds me of lemon/lime sherbet ice cream with the tweaks I use. Cool, refreshing, and this one is jam packed of nutrients. You can watch the full video on how I make it here.
It has ginger in it, which I already have a stash of frozen ginger juice in the freezer. Giving myself past self a high five for. Here is the video on how to make ginger juice in massive bulk to have it on hand already frozen.
This recipe is in the THT page 488-489
Here are my tweaks to the recipe:
- I add everything to the blender, and blend it all in one.
- I add 4 frozen ginger juice ice cubes so I don't have to strain it, I keep these in my freezer at all times
- dump in water and almond milk
- I don't peel the apple or cucumber, but I do slice them, my blender is a boss so big chunks will do
- Add all the rest of the ingredients and do a full serving of Integral Collagen
- skip the gelatin, the protein is from the collagen
I make a biggie size smoothie and will often double the recipe. My daughter always wants some and I put some in ice cube trays. Make the smoothie one time and have two smoothies, hello genius momma! One for now and one for later. I will re-blend the frozen cubes for a fresh smoothie the next day. This is all about giving yourself a high five!

Do you really want that McDonald’s Coke and Big mac…
or is it PEACE that your heart truly longs for?
The kids are screaming, the house is a mess, your sitter cancelled for tomorrow, and the thought of having to make dinner because your husband had to work late to save the world makes you want to curl up in a ball and cry.
The littles are hungry so no time for tears, because the dog just peed on the floor. Momma friend, it’s not Coke and Big Mac you are after, it’s peace. It’s a breath of fresh air for your soul. It’s a moment to sit in silence while the kids are eating that allows everything to be still for just a moment.
Food was never meant to be our comfort. God is! Each time we turn to food for a temporary high, yep I’m calling it that. Our food addiction has become the forgivable sin that never gets talked about inside the four walls on Sunday morning. God talks about it a lot.
He cares for your freedom. Running to food instead of Him will derail you Every. Single. Time. Then what happens after you finish that last sip of the best tasting coke in town? The thoughts of guilt, shame, and complete despair. The very thing you were running to, is the thing that for a moment brings delight, but the next second will come. The lies of I can never have freedom over this, floods your mind. Peace is further away than what it was before you pulled into the drive thru.
The next time you are triggered to run to food for your comfort use it an indication it’s time to get quiet and pray. Put on a worship song, lock yourself in the bathroom and let His presence flood the room. Take the biggest deep breath. Breathe in peace and exhale overwhelm. Put your breathing on repeat about 4-5 times and you will be a new woman.
Now, it’s time for dinner and you still want a nourishing meal that satisfy those taste buds while shrinking your double chin… Have a cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce with grilled onions, mayo, tomato, and pickle. Enjoy that with some buttered green beans and two rows of lily’s chocolate. (this is trim healthy mama S, Keto, and gluten free).
I’m cheering for your victory friend!
