In an office filled with fruits, veggies, almond milk, and NutriBullets, it only made sense to hold our own smoothie-making contest. We tested them all, and this one reigns supreme. Developed by Jon, our Senior Software Developer, this green smoothie is filled with heart-healthy hemp and flax seeds, and it's full of alpha-linolenic acid, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Juicy peaches and blackberries add a burst of sweetness and nutrients, while leafy greens support healthy vision and strong bones.

Just because it’s green doesn’t mean it isn’t insanely delicious. Spinach gives this sipper its emerald hue, but it’s the banana, mango, oats, and cashew butter that make it taste like a milkshake.   To make a bigger batch in the Blending Pitcher, triple all ingredients and blend on LOW for 10 seconds, then on HIGH until smooth. This will yield roughly 40oz, or 3-4 servings. Please note that adjusting quantities may change the nutritional content of each serving.

When it comes to tactical matters, Capricorns are the GOAT. Their ambitious vision, paired with an unrelenting work ethic, makes those born under the sign of the sea goat pretty much impossible to derail once they’ve set their mind. Shrewd and practical, Capricorn folks can see the big picture, identify every little step it takes to get there, and plan for any potential misstep that might get in the way. If the zodiac were a corporation, Capricorn would be COO.If this description gives the impression of ruthlessness, rest assured that these high achievers are also grounded enough to keep their egos in check. In fact, for them, ego-tripping is generally viewed as an impediment to fulfilling their highest potential. At the end of the day, they are salt-of-the Earth pragmatists who see it and tell it like it is, then make real, concrete plans to make it better.At times, their self-assuredness can foster a judgmental attitude towards those whose perspectives differ from theirs, especially people who view the world through a more abstract, dreamy lens. Capricorns should check in to remind themselves that reality is subjective, and every individual has experienced unique trials and tribulations that have made them who they are. If they can keep an open mind and maintain respect for other viewpoints, they might find they won’t have to go it alone on their quest towards the prize.For down-to-earth Capricorn, we figured we’d keep things straightforward with an ever-delicious frozen daiquiri. Rum, lime, strawberries, coconut, blend: it’s that simple.

Beautifully colored and surprisingly sweet, this smoothie is sure to become one of your new go-to recipes. Chia seed is packed with omega-3 fatty acids that can help raise good cholesterol, a benefit that helps protect against heart disease. They’re known for their gel-like expansion that, when ingested, can help you feel satiated and full for longer periods of time. The soluble fiber in plums produces a similar effect, an excellent characteristic that can help prevent overeating and weight gain.

The “three sisters” this dish refers to are corn, squash, and beans. In a technique originating from Northeastern Native American tribes, the three crops are planted together so the corn stalk provides support for the climbing bean plant, while the squash spreads horizontally to cover and protect the soil. The “sisters” also complement each other nutritionally, offering complex carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and a host of phytonutrients in every bite.
