Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup Fresh or frozen fruit (or a combination there of)
- Frozen berries Frozen wild blueberries are great and low pesticides
- Frozen mixed fruit
- Fresh pineapple Throw in the core too. It is very good for you!
- Banana Fresh or frozen. Bananas add a creamy texture as well as a strong flavor
- Any fruit getting too ripe in your fridge
1 handful Greens (Let’s face it; we don’t eat enough of these so add some to your smoothie!)
- Kale Baby kale is tenderer but any kale will do… I wash and freeze mine
- Spinach Again, go for the baby spinach
- Any veggie you think you can blend up and hide in your smoothie to boost the nutrition Try broccoli!
Essential Oils and Fats (This is a great way to get lots of good essential oils and fats into you. You can switch around which ones you use, but all of these have benefits and should be added regularly.)
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1 tbsp Flax seeds Fresh ground
- 1 tbsp Hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil Yes, put the fat in your smoothie, it gives it a Pina Colada flavor!
- 1 tbsp Nut butter Almond butter
½ to ¾ cups (approx.) Fluid
- Water
- Plain Yogurt
- Coconut water
Protein (Add this at the end or it will make your smoothie fluff up too much, it just needs a few second in the blender). Stay away from the flavoured powders as they contain LOTS of sugars.
- Whey protein (100% whey protein concentrate isolate) Natural flavour
- Veggie Protein (Vegetarian based protein powder) Natural flavour
- L-Glutamine If this is a pre or post workout shake
Extras
- Oatmeal, avocado, Bee pollen, fish oils Add fish oils at the end
