Smoothie Recipes

Smoothies are a great way to pack in fruits, veggies, antioxidants and fiber galore. The option to add protein powder is included in each recipe in case you eat a smoothie without eggs or other protein alongside of it and need protein. I can recommend quality brands of protein powder. My favorite brand is from a professional supplement company, and is naturally sweetened with a fruit extract. Please, please avoid artificial sweeteners! They poison and confuse your body. Let's talk in person about choices that are right for you, so you can drink up in good health!

Berry Smoothie

20 grams protein powder 

2 or 3 tablespoons of any: ground flax, pumpkin, sunflower, chia or hemp seeds

1 cup of fresh or frozen berries 

1 huge handful of fresh spinach or kale, or 1 cup frozen spinach or kale

1/2 avocado for creaminess OR 1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cucumber, peeled (optional)

About 4-6 ounces nut milk or filtered water to combine

Measure out your frozen items in advance and let thaw in a container OR make your smoothie with room temperature or warm water so it’s a pleasant temperature for drinking. "Chew" your smoothie by holding a sip in your mouth for a few seconds, and drink it slowly. This is a full meal!
