Chai Tai Smoothie and The Blender Girl Smoothie App

This chai tai smoothie from The Blender Girl Smoothies app is just so amazing you'll want to make it all the time!

I have several go-to smoothie recipes, but I’m always looking out for new and exciting ideas. My friend, Tess Masters, writer of The Blender Girl, has a new smoothie app (for the iPhone or iPad) that’s one of the most beautiful and helpful apps I’ve ever used! When you open it, you answer questions like: “Do you feel under the weather or sluggish and toxic?” “Do you need a burst of energy or a healthy boost?” “Do you crave something clean and green or savory and salty?” After you tap on a few answers, dozens of different recipes pop up tailored to your current smoothie preferences. You can even search according to dietary restrictions!

Each recipe uses only natural flavors or sweeteners, and most are nut-free, soy-free, corn-free and/or sugar-free. With alternate ingredients included in every recipe, hundreds of flavor combinations and nutritious varieties are possible. Within the app, Tess shares tips, methodology and techniques so we can create our own custom blends.

As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I think it’s very important to include some Vitamin A from animal sources in your meals, especially if you want to detox. For the recipes I’ve tried, I’ve added a raw pastured egg yolk, some grass-fed gelatin or used unprocessed, grass-fed milk or cream in place of the nut or seed milks to add some extra nutrients – they’ve all turned out great! (Egg yolk and gelatin blend in nicely without adding flavor.)

I’m giving away 5 Blender Girl Smoothie apps to five lucky winners! The winners can choose between the iPhone or iPad version. 

In order to enter, just answer the following question in the comments below: How will The Blender Girl app help you and what will you do with it?

    With an infant in the house and working from home, I find my creative energy gets zapped and I end up in ruts. Once I find one healthy smoothie I like I tend to stick with it because it's one less thing I have to think about. But it would be useful to have some variety in my smoothies for lunch diet.

    Teaching school is non stop so I am looking for some healthy and fun smoothie breakfast ideas to carry me through the day! I really use this app to keep my selections new and energizing.

    This app will help me to better listen to and care for my body. In the past year I have made dramatic lifestyle changes for the better and most have been reflected in my physical appearance. This app would enable me to continue these healthy habits while also helping me to improve my mental health and the overall state of my body! I have my go-to smoothie recipe that I tend to make over and over, and I would love to have access to different nutritious recipes so I can switch things up!!

    My oldest son has allergies and this would be perfect for him. My middle son just plain loves all smoothies so the more nutrients I can sneak in there the better. And I just gave birth to my third son and could stand to shed the baby weight. Also. Perhaps this will help with my sanity at home with three small boys ;)

    I am pregnant with my third child. Unlike the two previous pregnancies, I don't want to just throw all mindful, healthful eating habits out the window, using pregnancy and hormones as an excuse. I long to lay a healthy foundation for this new life, and continue in my own efforts toward a healthy lifestyle. I think smoothies will be a simple way to do this! I would love to use this app as a tool to help both baby and me to thrive!

    My boyfriend and I have made a pact to make a smoothie a day in the new year. We are both on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet, so the blender girl app would help us come up with new smoothie recipes. I love the Blender Girl cookbook and have no doubt the new app will also live up to my expectations!

    I am trying to get more fruits into my diet - not a huge fan. I love veggies. Nhopefully this would help. And my five year old loves smoothies and would love making new recipes for the family to try.

    Hi! My sweet children are all allergic to grains, and many other foods as well. They struggle (at 8 & 4) with severe stomach pain; we are on a traditional foods diet but without grains, and spend a lot of time and energy keeping their foods nourishing and healing. We are ALWAYS trying to find smoothies to incorporate keifer into, and I need all the help I can get!!

    As a student, I make a green smoothie and take it to uni as my breakfast - makes a perfect start to a healthy day. I'm the weirdo who pulls out a green concoction out of her bag between classes, but I would really like to be a weirdo with different smoothie recipes - I always tend to use the same stuffs and it's starting to be boring! The app sounds like something that could break me out of that rut : )

    What a useful sounding app! I like the tailoring aspect. Like others, it can be easy to get into smoothie ruts. More so, my two year old (who used to eat every veggie I put in front of her) has recently become very stubborn about not eating her veggies. So frustrating! Smoothies with hidden veggies might be just what we need to make sure we maintain our nutrient dense way of eating.

    We found out a year ago my son is celiac, this add another layer to our already limited diet. Soothies help me provide nutrient rich foods to the kids . They love smoothies and it is one of the easiest ways to give them some of the veggies they wouldnt try.

    We're in a smoothie rut at our house and each time I try to branch out, we return to our tried and true recipes because the new ones just aren't as good. I know there are great options out there, we just haven't found them yet!

    This app would give me healthy options at my finger tips. I have hypothyroid and Hashimotos autoimmune disorder and want to find healthy easy and fun ways to keep myself and my family eating better. I stumbled on your webpage while I was trying to find ways to detox and be healthier to help with my medical issues and will use your recipes and suggestions.
