The best recipe for The Wake Up Call

the wake up call celery chia green smoothie vegan gluten free best recipe

Noah is turning into quite the green smoothie connoisseur! I let him decide what ingredients to add, he stands on the counter dumping chia seeds, spinach, dates and fruit into the vitamix. I admit, it’s not the cleanest kitchen in the world after he’s done but, I don’t care! Seeing him get so excited about making a green smoothie is pure bliss to me!

Ever since the time change, he has been waking up at 5 AM, sometimes before! We are all exhausted! He hurries downstairs to give the dog a kiss then goes straight to the refrigerator and starts pulling out smoothie ingredients! I guess if you wake up at 5 AM, you better start the day off with a green smoothie!

This is Noah’s the flavor of the week:

Notes

Is anyone else having this insanely early wake up call with their little ones? Words of advice on how to get him to sleep in a little longer? I can deal with 5:30, but waking up at 4:45 is just wrong 🙂
