A lot of people ask me about
my smoothies, so I thought I would start there.
For
all smoothies, add ingredients in order then blend until smooth. These make
(approximately) 32 oz. smoothies. Amount will vary depending on the size of
your bananas. You can get creative and use whatever you have on hand.
A basic green smoothie
formula is:
Choice of greens + choice of fruits + creamy
fruit choice (banana or avocado) + liquid of choice + superfoods (optional). I
almost always use banana over avocado in my smoothies. Avocados are
high in fat, and I eat them in my salads and in guacamole most days, so I opt
for the lower-fat option.
Banana Cinnamon Smoothie
4-6 ripe bananas
2 C unsweetened almond milk
1 T maca powder (optional superfood)
1 t cinnamon
Tropical Green Smoothie
1 C (couple hands full) green of choice (I like
the mildness of spinach and kale)
1-2 ripe banana
½ C frozen pineapple
½ C frozen mango
½ C frozen strawberries
1 C coconut milk
1 C coconut water
1T goji berries
1 T chia seeds
*You can use only coconut or filtered water if
you don’t want/have the coconut milk.
Nutty Banana
6-8 ripe bananas
2 C almond milk
1 T peanut butter (I use the press at the store
to avoid all of the junk in the jar)

Same as above but add 1 C frozen berries of
choice. I like it with strawberries.
