Smoothies

Every morning I make a smoothie with 12 oz of orange juice, 1 cup of strawberries, either 1 banana or 1 green apple, and a cup of spinach. That easily keeps me satisfied until lunch and is only about 300 calories.

I do the same one too!

I use protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) and a half a banana. Sometimes I add peanut butter.

One combo I always go back to is:

strawberries
blue berries
raspberries
spinach
kale
green tea

banana and/or apple optional.

The other day I mixed in strawberries, strawberry soy milk, peanut butter, half a banana and kale.. it was so delicious.


*edit. I also add hemp hearts or flax powder time to time.

I love this one

Arugula Lettuce and Pear
Ingredients
1 banana
2-3 pears
2 tablespoons hulled hemp seed
1 bag of frozen raspberries
2.5 cups pure water (or fresh squeezed orange juice which takes the bitter from the arugula)
1 teaspoon super foods of choice (I used Maca; but you can find spirulina or other super greens at Earth Fare)
small bunch of arugula lettuce leaves
Liquid stevia to taste (I wouldn't add until you taste it…I added before tasting and it was too sweet)
Directions
1. Put all ingredients in a high speed blender.
2. Add enough water so that all ingredients are covered. Blend well.
Arugula lettuce and pear are an excellent combination. Very delicious and nutritious smoothie. You might try this combo in a salad too.

MANGO AND SPINACH SMOOTHIE
Serves 2
Looking and feeling great has to start with leafy greens – it cleanses and rebuilds your
body in miraculous ways. One or two glasses of this a day (this recipe makes 2 pints) is
going to make you look and feel amazing. And the good news is, it tastes truly (you’re
going to have to trust me on this!) delicious.


INGREDIENTS
1 large sweet and ripe mango (or 2 small ones)
5–6 large handfuls of organic spinach

DIRECTIONS
1 Chop your peeled mango into pieces and put into a blender
first (it’s important that you put the mango in first as it creates
the juice which the spinach can be blended into).
2 Wash your spinach thoroughly and add to the blender.
3 Blend the two together thoroughly until a thick but bit-free consistency is achieved.
4 Taste-test: If it’s not sweet enough for you add 1–2 dates or more mango; if it’s too
sweet add more spinach.
5 Finally, if you prefer your smoothie runnier, simply add water to reach desired
consistency.
6 When you’re happy with taste and texture, pour into a tall glass and swoon! Feel the
green goodness flooding into you! You did good!


I also do some:
1/2 cup of almond milk (unsweetened)
2 cups of greens/lettuce (any type)
1/2 cup of carrots
1 med banana
1 cup fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mango, apple, pear, cherries, mixed - frozen or fresh)
1/2 - 1 scoop of protein powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp raw ginger

if you are going to do smoothie or juice everyday you should mix up your greens and always watch how mush fruit you put in it may be a natural sugar but to much is even not a good thing
