Blueberry Green Smoothie

One of the best ways for us to get some nutritious veggies into Juliet

One of the best ways for us to get some nutritious veggies into Juliet

This is one of the tastiest ways to get in a few servings of greens each day! You can enjoy it as a breakfast smoothie or at any time of the day. The avocado and almond butter give this smoothie a nice creamy texture, in addition to adding healthy fats and protein to help stabilize blood sugars and reduce sugar cravings. And the berries add the perfect amount of sweetness and makes the smoothie a beautiful purple colour.

Our favourite protein powders to use are Vega’s Vanilla Chai (which we also use in our warm breakfast cereal recipe), Vega’s Nutritional Shake French Vanilla, and Thorne’s Vanilla Vegalite (available from your local naturopathic doctor). If you’re not using a protein powder, adding a bit of sweetener such as dates, stevia, or agave syrup helps to bring all of the flavours together.

Your smoothie will be turn out to be any shade of purple, blue, or green depending on the amount of certain ingredients you add.
