Drink your veggies!

Drink Your Veggies

 
I have a really hard time eating veggies.  I wish I liked more of a variety but I just don’t.  I make a green smoothie about 5 times a week to help boost my intake of veggies, plus it does a lot for my skin too!  I add chia seeds which are great for blood sugar regulation, have a lot of fiber and are full of Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants!  I also add Maca Root powder which is also good at regulating hormones, and boosting energy.  I love cinnamon so I add it in too and it also helps regulate blood sugar and reduces cholesterol.  As you can see, this smoothie is jam packed with good stuff and I promise it doesn’t taste like spinach!!!  Hope you enjoy!

Nutrition Packed MEGA Smoothie!

**Garnish with strawberries & cinnamon.  I added extra chia seeds and a sprinkle of bee pollen for added nutrition!**  Read about bee pollen benefits HERE.

Greens are so important to our overall health.  I urge you to get in the habit of a daily green smoothie.  It’s just too easy to not do!  I avoid plastic and that includes straws.  You can find silicone straws like the one in the picture HERE.

Smoothie Tips:

      • If you are not happy with the taste, adding a banana can boost flavor (sugar) as well as add creaminess.
      • Go HERE for more smoothie additives that boost nutrition without adding flavor.
      • Drink immediately for optimal nutritional value.
      • Freeze your spinach the minute you notice it wilting or turning slimy.  This will preserve your greens so you don’t waste.
