Sweet Fruity Purple Protein Smoothie for those on-the-go mornings. If you can wash fruit quickly, it shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to make!! This is my nourishing break-the-fast FAST morning fall back.
What you’ll need:
- A BLENDER!!
- 1/2 cup blackberries (antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C AND tannin [tannin strengthens/tightens various tissues of human body & keeps blood vessels strong])
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1.5 tablespoon ground flax (full of fiber & it’s gotcha on those omega-3 fatty acids)
- 1 large banana or 2 small (B6, B12, &potassium! Also: great at regulating blood sugar levels which is perfect when your intent is to make this your main morning meal)
- 1/2 cup original hemp milk (or cow milk, soy, almond, etc.) – if the milk itself doesn’t have much flavor, add a dash of vanilla to the mix before you blend it up.
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar (or honey, or whatever kind of sweetener you prefer)
- 1 (or 2) cup fresh spinach for some sneaky goodness (can’t taste it at all once it’s covered up by blissful blackberry, promise) -> SPINACH = Phytonutrients and IRON IRON IRON!
- 2 tablespoons hemp protein powder (or whatever kind of protein powder you prefer)
- 3 big ol’ ice cubes
(Serves 1 if you plan on having this as your meal replacement, or share with another as a healthy morning side)
Gettin’ it Started
1. WASH THE FRUIT!! So so necessary – chemicals do not belong in your body, and think of all the icky stuff fruit and veggies come in contact with on the journey from farm to table.
2. Put ice cubes in first, chop up the banana into bite sized pieces, then throw ’em in with the ice. Everything else can be thrown on into the blender in any order you choose.
3. Blend it up & marvel at the beautiful purple color that the berries grace you with!! Welcome to the world of smoothies, my friends!
