I know I enjoy smoothies and here is a great smoothie to start you day off with. I like to take a recipe and practice it until I get the hang of it and then move on to another. Eventually you could get onto a rotation of smoothies through out the week so that way you are mixing up your smoothies.
One thing that is great a bout smoothies is they assist in your hydration! With all the water rich veggies and fruits it help with hydrating your body.
When creating a smoothie it is alway important to have a protein source. So choose the one that works for you!
Adding a greens powder to the mix, add even more nutrient dense foods gives you an extra punch of nutrition!
Below is a great smoothie that adds a nice serving of hydrating veggies and fruit along with some quality protein and fiber. This is a great tasting smoothie and can be altered as you get used to making it. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
