Are You a Smoothie?

A smoothie lover, that is!  My family makes breakfast smoothies just about every morning, using a delicious nutritional shake powder I carry in my supplement line. Clients often ask what to add to their smoothies to make them as healthy and filling as possible. 

Some things I routinely add to mine to make what I call Super Shakes are these:

• Fruit – bananas, blueberries, strawberries, oranges, apples, peaches
• Greens – kale, spinach, swiss chard, or a powdered greens mix (also in my line)
• Ground Flax Seed, chia seeds, or a mix of both
• Plain, full-fat yogurt
• Avocado, cucumbers, celery
• Nut butter, cacao powder or nibs, unsweetened coconut
• Water, goat milk, nut milks

These are just a few of my favorites.  A recent article in Food Networking Magazine provided ingredients and recipes for Smoothies for each month of the year.  Here is a list of some of them.  Try a few from either list! 

Fruits: clementines, pineapple chunks, pears, pitted cherries, oranges, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, cranberries. These can be fresh or frozen.

Vegetables:  grated carrots, cherry tomatoes

Spices:  Grated fresh ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, cayenne

Liquids:  almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, orange juice, apple juice or cider,

Other:  Cottage cheese, Dark chocolate, dates, pumpkin puree,

If you want to try the BEST nutritional shake powder, check out the one I carry here or give me a call.  I’ll give you samples!  You can try my greens powder, too.  You’ll love both!

To Your Vitality!
