What you Need:
Blender
1Green Apple or Pear
1Cup of almond milk or coconut milk
1Generous handful of Spinach
1Generous Handful of Kale
1Tablespoon of Flax Seed or Chia Seeds
1Frozen Ripe Banana*
2 Tablespoons of Fat Free Greek Yogurt, OR Nut Butter (i.e peanut, almond, cashew, etc) **
Preparation:
Chop up your pear or apple into chunks ( don't worry about the size)
Chop up Banana in (again, don't worry about the size)
Directions:
Dump all your ingredients into the blender and blend on medium to high speed, for 30 secs approx ( this time will vary depending on the type and quality of your blender) Be careful not over blend, as you do not want the smoothie to become too liquefied. Pour into Cup and enjoy!
*If you do not like bananas then swap for half cup of ice, and reduce the amount of almond or coconut milk by a half cup.
** This step is optional I add Greek Yougurt or nut butter for the added protein because I am a vegetarian and it also aides in creating a creamier consistency.
***Add a touch of honey if this isn't sweet enough, DO NOT add white sugar.
Here's why I like Smoothies: They are the easiest and healthiest way to consume your daily serving of fruits and veggies and it's quick and cheap. This smoothie in particular is great for your digestive system, skin, and weight loss. Trust me this smoothie will fill you up, if you don't like some of the ingredients feel free to swap out or double up ingredients just make sure it's a veggie or fruit.
