A SMOOTHIE A DAY

I drink a smoothie for lunch almost every day. No...I'm not on a calorie restricting diet or on some crazy cleanse. Smoothies are a great way to get an abundance of nutrients in a quick and convenient way. They're also a great way get through the fruit + veggies in your fridge. If I know I won't get through all of my bananas and they're ripening quickly, I cut them in half and throw then in my freezer to use in smoothies - how easy is that?

Because they're are so many "quick fix" cleanses out there, I think that we mostly associate drinking a "shake" or smoothie for lunch as an attempt to restrict calories, replace meals and shed weight fast. If you're doing it right, smoothies can be real, filling and satisfying meals. 


A few things to make sure you include:
  • Fruits + Veggies - these can be frozen or fresh, just make sure you're getting a nice balance of both 
  • Protein - protein will ensure the feeling of fullness, keeping you away from the pantry until your next meal
  • Texture - if you're weird about texture, throw in some old fashioned oats to give the smoothie a bit more "oomph"
  • Supplements/Superfoods - smoothies are the perfect time to sneak some extras into your diet, I like including maca or cacao in mine

Here's what I threw together today! xx 

Ingredients-

1 c Califia unsweetened vanilla almond milk 
1 c frozen mixed berries 
1/2 frozen banana 
2 c spinach/kale
1 t maca powder
1 TB flax seed 
2 TB PB2 powder 
1 scoop @vitalproteins 

Directions-
Blend all in Vitamix and top with granola + local honey
