Smoothies

Picture

For all the smoothie recipes below, simply put the ingredients in a blender and blend away.  Add more or less ice to achieve your desired consistency. 

Rise and Shine

This smoothie recipe gives you a nice blend of fruit and some nutrient packed kale.  I promise you won’t even taste the kale in the recipe and it’s an awesome way of getting greens in your breakfast. 

Ingredients

  • A handful of kale

  • ½ cup of strawberries

  • ½ cup blueberries

  • ½ a cup of water (or you can add ½ a cup of almond milk or other milk of your choice)

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds or chia seeds

  • A scoop of whey protein powder (I use non flavoured)

  • Crushed ice

Chunky Coco-Moca
I absolutely love this recipe.  To me it’s like eating dessert for breakfast!

Ingredients

  • ½ a frozen banana

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened coco powder (I use Coco Camino an organic non Dutch process coco powder)

  • 1 teaspoon coffee granules (any kind that you would put in your coffee filter)

  • 1 tablespoon almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice. I’ve tried it with cashew butter and peanut butter – all are good)

  • Small handful of spinach or kale

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseeds or chia seeds

  • A scoop of why protein powder (I use non flavoured but a chocolate flavour would work here too)

  • ½ a teaspoon of cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon of matcha powder (optional)

  • 1 cup almond milk (you can use water)

  • Crushed ice

Fresh Fig Smoothie
This smoothie recipe is unique and when figs are in season and in abundance at our grocery stores in Canada I buy a bunch and freeze them. When they are frozen the smoothie has a beautiful creamy consistency. 

    • 3-4 fresh figs, cut in half

    • 1/2 small, frozen banana

    • 1 heaping and tightly packed cup spinach

    • 1 cup of almond milk

    • 3 tbsp protein powder (optional)

    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

    • Crushed ice
