When my diet needs a little balance and grounding, especially after holiday lunches, dinners, and all the parties in between, I love a good smoothie to get my diet back on track...a RECHARGE!
On the days I want to recharge my diet, I usually start the day with hot water, lemon, and cayenne to start cleansing from the inside out. I cut out coffee and switch to green tea with lemon throughout the day. In the middle of the day, I whip up a yummy nutrient filled smoothie with greens, fruit, hemp or green proteins, coconut oil, and a few extras like the smoothie below.
My digestive system gets movin', my energy level stays steady all day, and I feel all around lighter.
You're sippin' till supper!
This blueberry smoothie has been on regular rotation for me lately, and it tastes almost like a blueberry cheesecake...or almond butter & jelly sandwich!
Ingredients:
Spinach, handful
Frozen blueberries, 1 cup
Almond milk, 1 cup
Coconut oil, 1 Tbsp
Mejdool dates, without pit, 2
Hemp protein or green superfood powder
Slivered almonds, small handful
Cinnamon, 4 dashes
Coconut flakes, unsweetened, optional
Add all ingredients to blender, and add water if consistency is too thick.
This is a delicious recipe! However, I did not use coconut oil in my smoothie. Have you tried green (kale) smoothie? I definitely recommend it :-)

Hi Irina,
DeleteThanks for the comment! I try to switch between kale and spinach, and love both in my smoothies. You should try adding coconut oil to yours, makes you feel full much longer!
