TWO Superfood Green Smoothies

Good morning!! I woke up thinking about how badly I wanted a green smoothie for breakfast.
After you try this concoction you'll understand why!!!!
Grab a blender + toss in:
  • 1 handful kale or collard greens
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/2 cup blueberries or strawberries
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 T Green Dream powder
  • 1 cup almond milk, rice milk, oat milk or water
  • pinch of Himalayan pink sea salt

This drink gives me energy for hours, unlike any energy a caffeinated drink could  provide. Another plus about this drink is that it really alkaline's the system, helps you keep weight off + it is incredibly cleansing for the system (lymphatic + digestive).

You can take away the banana for less sugar or add more to make it sweeter. You'll still get the beautiful benefits of all the green vegetables.

 

If you want it to be more savory and less sweet, you can alter the recipe this way:

  • 1 handful kale or collard greens
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1/2 avocado (if you have a good blender toss the pit in there, it will make it super creamy!!)
  • 1 cup water
  • a few squeezes of fresh lemon
  • a couple parsley sprigs
  • pinch of cayenne pepper

I like this variation for a mid day snack or a lunch or dinner replacement with green dream protein powder. If you let it blend longer and get really smooth, it will even warm in the blender and come out tasting like a savory soup!!

 

Okay now that I'm drooling--time to make my shake!!!
