My Top Smoothies
Give us this day our daily blend. Sharing the greens I’m sipping on daily basis!
I start everyday with a smoothie for breakfast. It’s a great way to get your greens in and stay hydrated!
I prep my smoothies in advance, anywhere from a week to a month, and freeze them. This makes for an easy blend-and-go system. Feel free to break the following into smaller amounts. I usually prep and pack in servings of 4.
Ginger Spice
Mean green meets a hint of sweetness with the kick of ginger. Hi C Ya.
4 cups of kale
2 green apples, cored
2 bananas, peeled
1 inch ginger, peeled
A squeeze of lemon juice
Fuel Up
A thick smoothie that will keep you full until lunch. A tablespoon of cacao powder turns this into a chocolate Frosty for breakfast.
1 avocado
4 cups of spinach
2 bananas
1/2 inch ginger, peeled
For Your Health
When I need a detox, I turn to these next two drinks to hit reset. They taste like they are very good for you; approach with caution.
4 cups of spinach
2 cucumbers, sliced.
2 green apples, cored
1/2 inch ginger, peeled
A squeeze of lemon juice
Bears, Beets, Blend
1 package Love beets
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1 inch coins.
1 orange
1 grapefruit
1/2 inch ginger, peeled.
Mango Papaya Party
THIS is the super yummy smoothie I look forward to most.
1 papaya, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 mango, peeled, and chopped
2 cups frozen pineapple
2 cups frozen cherries
4 tbsp raw, no shell walnuts
Boosts
Amp up any of the above with:
1 tbsp Psyllium husk powder.
1 tbsp chia or flaxseed. I like Trader Joe’s Super Seed Ancient Grain Blend.
Cacao powder for a chocolaty spin. I use Trader Joe’s Organic Cacao Powder.
How
Divide the ingredients between 4 sandwich-sized ziplocks and store in your freezer.
When you’re ready for a smoothie, just grab one from the freezer, toss in the blender, and add your liquid of choice. Mine is 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 cup water.
Enjoy!
Kindly,
Cait
