Scripture to Live By:

Philippians
2:5-11

In
your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being
in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to
be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he
humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave
him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.

 I like to drink it out of goblets for the effect.  It is so refreshing and I know it it filled with antioxidants which are so good for our bodies.

Add a touch of fruit on the side of the glass.  I have a chunk of pineapple on the glasses here.

    Looks delicious! I've got tons of frozen fruits in the freezer from the summer… This sounds so yummy – and the deep color makes it look even yummier! =) I found your blog through Tatertots and Jello's link up party – I'm a new follower now too!

    I must get back in the habit of fixing smoothies. Yours certainly do look inviting. Mine were made with milk and fruit, but using juice is good especially for those who can't tolerate milk products.

    • Growing in Grace | Healthy 5 Fruit SmoothieJo-Ann says

      Thank you so much Joyful Noise for visiting and for your comment. Hope you will get back into drinking smoothies, they are so healthy and they help me not to eat other sugar filled snacks. Blessings to you. Hope you have a great weekend.

  9. Growing in Grace | Healthy 5 Fruit Smoothiejennie @ diets says

    I found this recipe on Pinterest. I enjoy smoothies a least 3 to 4 times a week. It is an easy meal to have for breakfast or lunch and they really fill you up. Having smoothies helps to reduce your daily number of calories because it keeps you full longer. I sometime include whey protein in my smoothie which increases the protein content.
