POWER BERRY GREEN SMOOTHIE

 

 

 

Nothing starts my day better than having a smoothie or a fresh juice blend.  Don't get me wrong I may have my days here and there where I cheat, I am only human, but I am pretty religious about having my green smoothie.  Maybe one day I will share what my weaknesses are... haha!

 

I do have a favorite green smoothie that I have most mornings, but this time I decided to switch it up a little and I really loved this combination.  I hope you like it too.

 

POWER BERRY GREEN SMOOTHIE

 

1 cup almond milk

1/2 a frozen banana

3/4 cup frozen blueberries and blackberries

2 cups mix of baby spinach, baby kale, and baby chard

Optional: 1 table spoon maca powder

Optional Topping: Chia Seeds and Hemp Seeds

 

Blend all the ingredients together in a high speed blender and enjoy!  I like my smoothies on the thick and creamy side.  If you do too, and your smoothie seems a little too liquid, just add more frozen banana or berries. 

 

Happy drinking!

SUPER GREEN SMOOTHIE IN A BOWL

For those of you who know me, you know I love my smoothie in the morning.  It really gets me going.  One of my favorite smoothies is my Green smoothie with Spinach and Almond Butter.  But, this time I took it up a notch and made it into a bowl, a meal for some.  I added in some of my favorite fixings like pomegranate seeds, blueberries, hemp seeds and almond slivers, and ate it with a spoon.  So delicious and nutritious!  Hope you do the same and enjoy your favorite smoothie in a bowl soon.
