Time saving tip: I like to make a whole blender full in the morning so we can enjoy a bunch at breakfast, plus I can save a big tall one for later in the day!
Though none of these ingredients are necessary, sometimes having the basic recipe makes it so much easier to actually DO!
The nuts and bolts:
1 banana
1 cup+ frozen berries. I also like to add a small handfull of frozen cranberries.
a splash of flax or Udo's omega oil blend (optional)
something green: a few celery sticks, half a romaine heart, a big handful of beet greens, salad greens, parsley is really good, cilantro if you like it. You get the idea, anything green!
1/2 - cup of juice (we like orange or tropical flavours like guava)
a fresh orange or two is always popular with the kids
add water for consistency
Of course anything goes, so if you have a favourite, we'd love to hear about it! Try papaya-it's very smooth!
nutrition boost tip: If you add vitamin D or C, probiotics, or any other supplements to your diet, throw them right in! Just make sure you know who's drinking so you aren't unnecessarily medicating your kids or something! For added protein, which i like for the lasting power, or post workout recovery, add chia seeds (a tablespoon per person or so) or hemp seeds.
It's all smooth sailing from here! I promise, you can get a lot of greens in this way without even realizing it- and the kids love them too!
