THE "PURPLE" GREEN SMOOTHIE

Time for another smoothie recipe!  A variation of this smoothie has been my go-to green shake for years.  You can always mix it up with whatever ingredients you have on hand.  Below are the ones I used for this particular one.  I'm always fond of the colors these shakes turn into. 

THE "PURPLE" GREEN SMOOTHIE

1 cup of orange juice (or any other juice or liquid base)

1 tsp flax oil (I usually add some coconut oil too)

1 tbsp maca powder

1 tsp vitamineral greens (optional)

2 handfuls of frozen berries of choice (I used blueberry + mango)

2 handfuls of greens (I used spinach + dandelion leaf)

agave or honey to taste if needed (use a small amount to start or it will be way too sweet)

Blend you liquids and your greens together first until smooth, then add the rest of your ingredients and blend until completely blended. 

Enjoy!  I drink mine with a straw :)

BANANA + ALMOND SMOOTHIE

I share alot of photos of my smoothies and other meals on instagram and get asked alot of questions about what is in everything, so I have decided to start sharing some recipes here on the blog!  Ive never really thought of myself as a foodie, or even someone who really knows there way around in the kitchen.  But I do love experimenting, especially lately since I have been changing my eating habits.

So, Ive never been a measurer, so these are just guestimates below... So add these ingredients to taste for yourself if you try this.

BANANA + ALMOND SMOOTHIE

1 cup almond milk

1 ripe banana

1-2 tbsps almond butter

1 tsp vitamineral green powder (or other green powder)

I tbsp maca powder

I tsp flax oil

agave nectar to taste if needed

3-4 ice cubes

optional: 1/2 tsp coconut oil

Blend together & enjoy!

There are many variations you could create for this smoothie depending on what you have on hand.  Get creative!
