This deliciously filling energy-boosting green smoothie is all you need for groggy mornings. If you are one of those who go through the Monday blues, this is for you. This smoothie is packed with Antioxidants, fiber and lots more!
First of all, the hubs and I started a refined sugar detox a few weeks ago; we wanted to try it for thirty days to see how we feel about it, and if it’s something we want to do for the long haul. Well, the first three days was an absolute struggle. We both complained of fatigue, I for one was very cranky and moody, yea-like crazy PMS mood swings.
Fast forward—->>> We are currently three weeks in and it feels good. I am not having any sugar cravings or mood swings, so it’s safe to say we are digging the “no refined sugar diet.” We are sticking with the diet for now so wish us luck. If we continue with the detox after thirty days, I’ll keep you updated. But, let’s be clear, we won’t be restricting ourselves to fruits that are naturally sweet, because, life!
okay, back to this thirst quenching energy-boosting green smoothie!
How to Make Energy Boosting Green Smoothie:
For this quick and easy recipe you will need;
Frozen Bananas that have been cut into chunks.
Baby spinach
Roasted salted cashew
Protein powder (I used raw organic protein-Vanilla chai)
Oats (quick or rolled oats )
Raw organic honey (This is optional, feel free to use dates or any sweetener of your choosing)
Unsweetened vanilla almond milk ( You can substitute with water or any nut milk)
Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend for a few seconds or until smooth. Pour in a serving glass and enjoy!
TIPS:
If you don’t have frozen bananas on hand, use a fresh one and add about six ice cubes before blending. See this post here on how to freeze seasonal fruits in bulk.
I used Roasted salted cashew for this energy-boosting green smoothie, but, if you don’t have on hand, substitute with nuts like almonds, peanuts, macadamia, or walnuts.
