2 New Smoothie Recipes
"Triple B Smoothie"
(Blueberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie)
1 c non-dairy milk (I prefer almond)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 banana
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1 tbsp flax seed
1 tbsp agave nectar
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend. The frozen blueberries will make it cold enough you do not need additional ice.
Notes: For a bit better texture, let the oatmeal soak overnight in 3/4c of the milk. Add the remaining 1/4 c of milk before blending
"Supermodel Smoothie"
(Adapted from Niki Taylor's recipe: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/videolib/init/5054)
12 oz water
1 c kale
1/2 c spinach
1/2 c (2 stalks) celery
1/2 a banana
1/2 c frozen berries (I use blueberries)
1/2 scoop cacao powder
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
Put the water, kale, spinach and celery in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the banana, berries and powder and blend again. You can add more water to adjust the consistency, but I find anything more than 12 oz makes this smoothie very watery.
Note: I like this smoothie because it doesn't look like a green smoothie. The cacao powder makes it look like a chocolate shake...no more weird looks at work! :)
