Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a fun weekend. We went to DC for a weekend of visiting good friends, seeing monuments & museums, and feeling like we were House of Cards characters. In addition to all of that, I also had many mimosas, ate a lot of Easter candy and partook in some 2am chili cheese fries. Needless to say, I was pretty happy to get back to my go-to morning smoothie today!
I have this smoothie almost every day of the week for breakfast and it really never gets old for me. I’m not going to eat a salad for breakfast so this is the perfect way to get 3 handfuls of leafy greens into my life before noon. It also has almond butter, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, chia seeds and coconut milk. So good and such a healthy, light way to start your day. If you’re looking for a way to get more greens into your diet without eating salads for every meal, this is the perfect way!
- 2 hand fulls greens - spinach, mixed greens, romaine, etc
- 1.5 c unsweetened coconut milk
- 3 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 c mixed frozen berries
- Add all ingredients to a small mason jar or blender and blend
- Enjoy!
- All ingredients can be substituted for what you have on hand
- Any green leafy veggie would work
- Any type of frozen fruit
- Any type of nut butter
- Flax seed instead of chia seeds, or no seeds at all
- Whatever kind of milk you have on hand, but coconut keeps it dairy free and cuts back on almond intake
