The green smoothie recipe (which I sometimes make into a bowl) has lots of what you need and none of what you don’t! (preservatives and added sugar)
It makes the perfect breakfast on the go, lunch, post workout snack, or meal anytime you want something healthy and don't have a lot of time! It is made with Whole30 compliant ingredients, but isn't suggested while on the Whole30 round (which you probably already know if you are doing one!)
I used to make my smoothies with tons of fruit, and wasn’t sure why I felt sleepy and hungry shortly after drinking them. Now I know it’s because they were 50% ++ sugar, and not enough protein and healthy fats. I still add fruit, but a lot less of it and make sure to boost it up with the right protein, fiber and fats.
This is my recent go to, and I modify the fruit / veggies from here. Try it out and let me know what you think!
The {Best} Go To Green Smoothie:
Smoothie Recipe Ingredients:
1/4 frozen🍌
1/4 c. Frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen spinach
1 T. Flax meal
1 T. Chia seeds
2 scoops collagen protein powder ( I use unsweetened @healthy__delights From @vitaminshoppe - really affordable and tastes great!)
1- 1.5 c unsweetened almond milk (depending on how thick/thin you want it)
1 -2 T. Unsweetened Almond butter ( if you haven’t had @traderjoes you need to try it, it will change your life. LOL.)
The Recipe:
Blend in a high powered blender (I LOVE my Vitamix)
I top it with a few more chia seeds, hemp seeds and crushed nuts.
This can easily be made into a "smoothie bowl" recipe by adding more milk and eating it with a spoon!
