This easy, yet yummy cleansing breakfast or snack is packed with calcium and omega-3 fatty acids that are so important to get into our diets. Plus the vitamin C and cinnamon help with immune, and blood sugar regulation. All around Good!
This is a great way to start your day. The fruit is light and cleansing, but full of antioxidants, natural sugar to help the brain wake up and function and fiber to fill you up, keep you regular and slow the blood sugar spike. Only the whole fruit works that way.
Fresh or frozen berries and bananas work well. Frozen fruit will give it more of a dessert feel, like a milkshake. Combine all ingredients in a blender container and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds on high.
**To add a big nutrient punch to this smoothie, add two handfuls of spinach, romaine, chard or kale leaves. You’ve just increased the powerful benefits of alkalizing minerals and amino acids and it tastes AMAZINGLY GOOD even though it’s green!
(So many people have an aversion to eating and drinking green, but green is life-giving)
Just think of how great it is to see green after a long winter in Wisconsin!
