Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (I get Blue Diamond)
- 1 tablespoons of Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal ( I prefer Bob’s Red Mill) or 1 tablespoon of Chia Seeds
- 1 date, no pit
- A few Handfuls of some type of green (I usually recommend starting with a handful of spinach and adding more spinach once you are used to this. You will need to switch up the greens from time to time because of the lack of calcium absorption from the spinach)
- Evergreen Wheat Grass Juice Extract, 2 shots (this is not necessary, but I have been adding it lately and I feel more energetic. I purchase this in the Freezer section at Whole Foods).
- Frozen Banana; I usually recommend at least a half a frozen banana for sweetness (freeze a bunch of banana in thirds- works out better for the smoothies).
- Frozen Strawberries -1 heaping cup
- Frozen Blueberries- 1/2 heaping cup
- Optional: 1 tablespoon of nut butter (I prefer almond butter and use Trader Joes, Raw, Crunchy Unsalted Almond Butter) *I usually omit this unless I am super hungry.
- ***You should defrost your frozen fruit for at least 15 minutes (I’ve defrosted for almost an hour at times) so you don’t break your machine like I have done in my hastiness.
- Directions:
- Blend together till you get the consistency you like
