Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
• 2 cups berries or 2 whole fruits of your choice, sliced
• Handful of dark leafy greens (spinach, beet tops, celery tops, Swiss chard,
collards or kale), washed and with thick stems removed
• Fat source: choose either 6 tbsp raw ground flax or chia seeds, 2 tbsp nut
or seed butter; ½ an avocado or 2 tbsp of any healthy oil like flax, sesame,
walnut, coconut or pumpkin seed
• ½ – ¾ cup of filtered water (the less water, the thicker the smoothie)
• 4 scoops flavoured protein powder (try vanilla, orange or berry)
Directions:
Put berries or whole fruit, dark leafy greens, your fat source of choice and water
into a blender. Blend. Add protein powder at the very end of the mix or simply
pour fruit and green mixture in a bowl and top with protein powder (smoothies in
a bowl).
Tasty Variations:
Save your fat source for your whole grain if you choose to have it alongside your
smoothie (e.g. sprouted grain toast with butter or cooked oats with ground flax
seed and dried fruit).
Save your fat source and add it like a topping alongside your protein powder for the
“smoothies in a bowl”.
