Berry Good Smoothie Recipe with an Orange Naturals

By 153 Comments

In my efforts to make small healthy changes this year, I have gotten into the {good} habit of having breakfast. While I’m not one for huge meals first thing in the morning, it’s good to have something nutritious in order to give myself the best start to the day. I do find that when doing this, I have more energy, snack less mid-afternoon and feel better throughout the whole day. 

One thing I reach for more often than not, is a smoothie. It’s an easy way to get those vitamins and whole foods into my tummy. I try and mix up the contents daily, to ensure a good variety of fresh foods. Yet there’s one constant to all my smoothies – Orange Naturals ND Shakes and now I’m adding tinctures. 

The Orange Naturals Tinctures that I’m using are Holy Basil and Rhodiola. I’m using these to combat fatigue, maximize my sleep time and increase energy.

I’m hypothyroid and am on Synthroid medication {for about 20 years now} and though my doctor claims that my Thyroid levels are average-low  {where he wants them to be}, I still feel incredibly tired most of the day and experience many symptoms that my levels are lower than where they are.

So, these tinctures are helping me regain some of that energy naturally without adjusting my medication. Rhodiola especially, since it’s a wonderful adaptogen that helps support the adrenal gland {which is your stress gland} and oftentimes people with hypothyroid also have low adrenal function. Rhodiola helps respond to stress and give energy and stamina. So, it’s like a little booster for me, exactly what I need.

Holy Basil and Rhodiola each have a LOT of benefits {like increased mental performance}, so I urge you to take a peek at the links and have a read. I’ve only started using these tinctures a few days ago, and will be sure to report back with my thoughts after a longer period has passed.

So, back to the delicious topic of smoothies! Did you see that ND Shakes was featured on the Global Morning Show and aired on Steven and Chris on April 18th. Check out the smoothie creations that were featured!

One of my favourite smoothies to have is loaded with berries and their antioxidants, I like to call it a Berry Good Smoothie.

So, I get my {naturally} daily dose of women’s vitamins, tincture goodness AND all the benefits of fruit and berries. Whether you use the Vanilla or the chocolate ND Shake, it’s such a delicious smoothie!

    I stopped by yesterday but just getting back to your blog.
    This sound really interesting, I am tired as well and need a boost, I had not heard of using tinctures. I will look further into this. The recipe looks really yummy, will give it a try, I have all the ingredients on hand.

    Have a great week!

    I also have thyroid issues and am glad this product an be used in conjunction with Synthroid and will not block its absorption into our bodies. Had that happen with another shake mix.

    I would love to try any of the tinctures! I make green smoothies for breakfast (and usually lunch) almost every day and it would be great to boost them with the tinctures!

    I would love to try the Orange Naturals Earaches for kids. My daughter is prone to ear infections, especially in the summer when she swims a lot. I would love to find a natural remedy that smells better than garlic cloves!

    I would like to try lots of the products but if I had to choose, I would love to try their Probiotics for Adult and the ND Shake for Women.

    I have been taking Synthroid for the same reason. Taking Lithium for a mood disorder was the reason for my hyperthyroidism. Although I no longer take Lithium, the effects are permanent. An other thing that we have in common besides our gallbladders lol…I try to eat more foods that are natural and not processed. I went to the ND Shake website and I am glad that they don’t use any GMOs…I would begin using the shakes made especially for women and then also try the women’s sport shake.

    Hi;
    I would be curious to learn about about how it works as far as your energy level goes, as well as the thyroid! I am tired all the time. Time to make some changes, feel better and i wonder if this is a good place to start?? Love smoothies too :))

    It seems like probiotics are good for so many things, so I would be most interested in Probiotics for Adult

    I’d be really interested in trying the ND shake for women – sounds really intriguing.

    The ND Shakes are something I would like to try. Currently when I make shakes, they ae the whey protien body building ones my husband uses… so not really doing the trick for me at the moment!

    I like how their site breaks down their products by conditions. It takes the guess work out of it. I think I’d like to try the Ashwagandha tincture.

    Sad to say but at my age I think the product I need most is “Menopause”, no kidding.

    I would try the Stress + Calm homeopathic remedy. I know it has nothing to do with smoothies, but I could sure use it.
