Green Superfood Smoothie

A go to combination of mine. The pineapple adds all the sweetness you need and you will have boundless energy after blending. I am a self professed coffee addict, there is nothing like coffee that gets my gears running after a night of restless sleep, but this green smoothie competes with how much it wakes me up.

Ingredients

2 cups spinach, baby leaves, or 1 cup frozen spinach, lightly thawed

2 tablespoons of chia gel (chia seeds soaked in water or coconut water for several hours, good to have on hand in the fridge, and lasts a week!)

3 pineapple rings, or 1 cup pineapple chunks

1/2 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh

1 teaspoon spirulina

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 tablespoons goji berries

Directions

Blend well and enjoy!

Banana Ginger Mango Smoothie

Bananas are portable, delicious, and give you an incredible energy boost. I try to eat one everyday. Bananas contain

• good source of probiotics
• good source of potassium, which is so good for your cardiovascular system
• good source of B6, prevents sleeplessness and is also a good source of electrolytes, supplying your body with energy
• good source of pectin, which keeps your body regular and aids digestion

This smoothie incorporates some of my favorite ingredients for a great breakfast, lunch or after workout snack.

Ingredients

• 1 banana, diced
• 1 inch piece of ginger, diced
• 1 cup frozen or fresh mango, diced
• 1 cup almond milk, light coconut milk, or milk of your choice
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 tablespoon raw almond butter

Directions

Blend and serve! Add ice if you want it to be cold and crisp!

Greek Yogurt Raspberry Smoothie

I love raspberries and a good smoothie. This is a great smoothie for the morning or after a workout. I have switched from flavored Greek yogurts to just plain and adding my own toppings to it or incorporating my own sweeteners because some yogurts are pumped with the sweet stuff. I add chia seeds for extra protein and fiber.

Ingredients

1 cup frozen or fresh raspberries

1/2 banana

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 cup spinach

1 container plain greek nonfat yogurt

1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Blend everything together and serve immediately.

 

Enjoy!
