His & Hers. Yours & Mine.
Do you see that bright green color??? OHHHHHH I love it! You can see the nutrients! The fact: I drink a lot of smoothies… in fact most of family does too. It basically comes down to this… they’re fast, nutrient dense and I can throw pretty much anything in them and they taste so good. Fast food my style! Perfect for on-the-go lifestyles. My kids drink them for breakfast or before practice. We have them for breakfast or quick lunches while running out the door. Plus my garden is brimming with fresh spinach and kale and I promise you… if you add it your kids won’t taste it! Other flavors dominate it and it is virtually undetectable. Plus getting extra nutrients from dark, leafy greens is essential. I added cinnamon to this recipe which is a great anti-inflammatory. Great post workout! Also, it’s been shown to lower cholesterol and lower blood sugar.
This recipe, like most of my recipes as of late, are vegan. You can always use whatever milk you prefer. I make all of my smoothies in my Vitamix Pro 750. Regular blenders may be used but may require a bit more liquid to thin it out the consistency. One last note on smoothies, for now, they are great post workout to allow your body to focus on healing your muscles you tore up during your workout v. digesting a big breakfast post workout. Turnover and recovery so you can get back out working out sooner is my focus.
