I start every day with a nutrient dense, quick and easy smoothie. Smoothies are great because you can experiment and customize them to your own taste. Use this recipe for the basic proportions.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen organic fruit (If you use fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes to make it cold and slushy.)
- 1/2 cup organic almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut water (Coconut water is a great source of potassium and electrolytes. Alternatively, you could use filtered water.)
- 1 serving protein powder
- 1 serving of a greens powder (Greens powders provide whole food nutrients that help fight free radicals and promote total body wellness. I use Amazing Grass Green Superfood Raw Reserve, or Vibrant Health’s Green Vibrance, both of which also contain helpful probiotics.)
Blend and enjoy! Makes one serving.
- Note: If you use 1 cup filtered water instead of a mix of nut milk and water, then be sure to add some sort of healthy fat like 2T nut butter, 1/4 avocado or a healthy oil like 1T flaxseed oil.
