Recipe: Green Smoothie


maxresdefault

The greens are a super way to get lots of dark leafy greens, loaded with antioxidants, great for detoxification, great anti-inflammatory food, helping with the prevention of cancer and weight control. The almond in the smoothie adds a nice bit hit of protein, essential to a morning smoothie, and is also anti-inflammatory and helps balance blood sugar and assists with sustaining energy throughout the day. And the avocado, yet another good anti-inflammatory, is full of high quality oils, brilliant for your heart and brain.

Ingredients:

  • 1 handful spinach or kale
  • 1 small Avocado
  • 1 cup Almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp Almond butter [optional]
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp clean pea protein powder
  • Stevia to taste.

Directions:

Place all ingredients in blender and blend till smooth. You can vary the recipe by adding  blueberries instead of avocado, or some kefir in the place of some of the almond milk.
