Pork Carnitas Burrito Bowls (or turn into tacos li Pork Carnitas Burrito Bowls (or turn into tacos like we often do) are by far my kids favourite meal and one where I don’t have to make a ton of different options.  I mean, less work for a dinner with less whining? I’ll take it! 

The 🍍 salsa is not to be missed. Tropical fruit is coming into season friends! A great time to switch up the usual for thrifty buys and satisfied tummies 😋

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
