I love to start my day with a green smoothie 🙂 They’re fast, easy, and healthy. Here’s my morning go-to…
Throw the following into a blender (makes 2 large glasses)
- 2 cups water or almond milk*
- 1 scoop vegetable protein powder (I use Vega French Vanilla)
- sprinkle of spirulina
- sprinkle of wheatgrass powder
- 1 Tbs flax oil
- large handful (baby) spinach
- large handful roughly torn fresh or frozen kale (frozen blends better)
- 1 stalk organic celery, chopped
- 1 organic banana or avocado
- 1 ½ cups frozen wild blueberries
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, pour, and enjoy 🙂
* I use Silk brand almond milk, because it doesn’t contain carrageenan, which has been linked to several gastro-intestinal health issues, and because the seaweed farming that takes place to produce it negatively affects the environment.
