Over my years of healing, I’ve noticed that if I can start my day with a veggie-rich, nutrient-dense smoothie, I feel SO much better all day long.
Below is my “go to” smoothie. I challenge you to do at least one add-in AND the veggie challenge!
Berry Green Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free milk or raw milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ banana (or 1/2 avocado)
- 1 large handful greens of choice (spinach is a good place to start if you’re new to greens in your smoothie)
- ¼ tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp collagen (or 2 Tbsp soaked nuts)
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seeds or hemp seeds
Directions
- Blend well and enjoy!!
Optional Add-Ins
- Bee pollen (great way to boost immunity and energy while fighting seasonal allergies)
- Ceylon cinnamon (just 1 tsp can keep blood sugar level for 24 hours!)
- Raw cacao nibs
- Maca powder (a great energy-boosting adaptogen which will boost hormones, fertility, and sex drive)
- 1/2-1 tsp Vitamineral Green (energy boost/detox)
Veggie Add-In Challenge:
To add a nutrient boost, add 1 rib of celery and 1/4-1/2 an organic cucumber.
What’s your favorite smoothie garnish or extra??
Mine is cacao powder and/or cacao nibs! I LOVE chocolate and I make my smoothies the night before because I like them super thick and the nibs soften and swell a bit and taste divine!
