Blueberry Blend Smoothie
This is my favorite smoothie recipe of all time! I have to consciously force myself not to make it every single morning. For my last birthday my family gifted me a Vitamix blender. It’s amazingly powerful and makes a creamy smoothie. Before that, I used my Cuisinart every morning. If you have a stick blender that will also work.
Ingredients
1 c frozen blueberries
Small handful of frozen raspberries (about 1/4 cup)
1 c nut milk (I use almond milk)
1 cup fresh spinach
1-2 T raw cacao nibs
Optional: I usually add a tablespoon of ground flax seed and hemp seed.
Directions:
- Blend the spinach and nut milk together first until the greens are smooth.
- Add in blueberries, raspberries, cacao nibs, and optional ingredients. I like my smoothies a little on the warmer side, so I let it defrost for 30 minutes or so.
- Blend and drink!
Tips:
Because I like to have a little extra protein for breakfast I usually eat a rice cake with almond butter with my smoothie.
Raw cacao nibs can be found in most health food stores like Whole Foods. If you live in Madison, I get mine in the bulk section of Willy St. Coop.
