Are you looking for a delicious smoothie filled with whole foods that will power you throughout the day? This is the perfect one! It has a focus on antioxidants with blueberries and cranberries, as well as healthy fats and protein to balance blood sugar and keep you full. I find smoothies are not enough for me on a busy morning even with protein powder, so I need to make sure I include some healthy fats such as avocado, coconut oil or nut butter to sustain me. This one can have all three! Weary of adding lemon rind to your smoothie? Try it! It adds a bit of a tangy refreshing flavour to your morning drink. Come winter I don’t crave really cold smoothies as much so this one is just right with less frozen fruit.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries
1/2 cup frozen cranberries
1/4 lemon with rind
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 walnuts
1/4 avocado
1/2 tbsp coconut butter (or coconut oil if you don’t have it)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp The Cultured Coconut Kefir (optional)
1 scoop Sproos Collagen (optional)
1 tbsp greens powder (optional)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth :)
In health & happiness,
