RECIPE BY HEALTHY LITTLE VITTLES
This green smoothie is a complete meal. Best served in the morning for a great boost in health and energy.
INGREDIENTS
-
1 cup flax milk (or other plant milk)
-
1 cup frozen mango chunks
-
2 cups loosely packed spinach leaves
-
1/2 avocado
-
1/2 large frozen banana
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon spirulina powder
-
generous pinch of turmeric
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
-
1 tablespoon almond butter/sunflower seed butter
-
3-5 tablespoons orange juice
-
pinch of black pepper (optional)
METHOD
-
Add all of the ingredients to your high speed blender starting with the milk and blend until smooth. I like to add the orange juice at the end as it's blending to help it along if the frozen fruit gets stuck, but just add it 1 tablespoon at a time until you achieve the desired smoothie consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more chunks of frozen mango.
-
Serve in a jar and sip with your Bamboo Straws!
