Berry Healthy Smoothie Recipe!

Now a guest post by our Health and Wellness Associate, Christine!


If you're like me and want something healthy, easy, and delicious in the morning then try this smoothie recipe: It's refreshing, slightly tart, energizing and a great way to start the day!

Any of the ingredients can be left out or you can add more! Also, do not b e afraid of greens! There are a lot of greens included in this recipe but you can barely notice their flavor over the mixed berries!

1 cup frozen berry mix (berries are very antioxidant rich.)

1/2 the juice of a lemon (Lemon is alkalizing and detoxifying.)

1/2 cup mixed greens- spinach, kale, romaine or anything you have will do (Greens are very alkalizing and energizing.)

1 scoop protein powder- I prefer rice but any plant base will do. Good protein options would be Jarrow rice protein or Garden of Life Raw protein.

1 scoop green powder- Barleans or Garden of Life greens work well.

1 shake or two clear fiber- I like the Renew Life clear fiber. (Fiber helps to regulate digestion and remove toxins.)

1 serving of Vitamin C powder- (Vit. C helps support the immune system.)

Squeeze of honey or agave

1/2-1 cup cold water

Put all ingredient in blender; blend to smooth consistency.  This recipe makes about 14-16 ounces. Other ingredient options may include adding peanut butter, banana, coconut oil, or a dash of cinnamon.  Let me know how you like it or how you made it your own! Any of the ingredients listed above can be found at our store Hoey Apothecary.

Cheers-
