Talk about falling off the bandwagon this summer…
Is it just me or do you need some serious motivation to regain your momentum this fall?
I mean, I’m gonna blame it on my stage 4 lumbar disc herniation with a large order of debilitating pain, a side of limited mobility and a sprinkle of drugs that make my head a bit foggy in the morning…what’s your excuse? Ha! KIDDING!
No matter what your reasons (and we all have ‘em) summers just have a way of throwing us a little off track of our routines. So, in honour of hopping back on your morning smoothie routine this fall (or at least having a few easy smoothie recipes up your sleeve for when you’re ready) I’m sharing three super-simple smoothie recipes to tempt any tastebud.
They’re so easy and still FULL of nutrient-dense goodness with every slurp.
In times like this, when my fridge is not fully stocked with super foods from every nook and cranny of the health food store, I can still give my smoothies a super food boost with the help of a few of my go-to Genuine Health products. Let’s face it, most of us don’t keep a stash of alfalfa, spirulina, and milk thistle seed extract…am I right?
I’m leaning heavy on Genuine Health’s vegan greens+O these days because it has 23 different awesomely healthy plant nutrients to help create more alkalinity in my body (lord knows I need to it to reduce that inflammation in my back). And sometimes I like to add a bit of fermented vegan proteins+ when I don’t have an easy plant protein on hand. Genuine Health’s plant-based protein powder is fermented so you can say goodbye to any post-plant-protein-powder bloat. Plus, I’m all about getting enough absorbable protein to help speed my body’s healing.
So, let’s get to the fun stuff shall we?
First up, who doesn’t love a good lip-smacking raspberry smoothie?
I, ingeniously, called this the Red Raspberry Smoothie.
- 1 frozen banana (fresh or frozen) chopped
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup coconut milk (store-bought in a carton, or homemade)
- 1 medjool date (pitted)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Genuine Health vegan fermented proteins+
- Blend until smoothie.
- If using all frozen fruits, you might want to add more water to achieve your desired consistency.
Here’s another easy-peasy recipe for those of you who have been dying to get your green on this fall. It’s sweet and delicious and I’m keeping it even simpler by calling it Greens Apple.
- 1 green apple (cored and chopped)
- 1 lime (peeled and quartered)
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen chopped)
- 1 tbsp nut or seed butter of choice (I used pumpkin seed butter)
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 scoop Genuine Health vegan greens+ O
- Blend until smoothie.
- Add extra water to achieve desired consistency if necessary.
And to make sure I could show you how easy it is to have a perfectly purple blueberry smoothie that still has all sorts of green power in it, I give you: Basic Blueberry. Cause it’s basically amazing.
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana (fresh or frozen chopped)
- 1 cup water or non-dairy milk
- 2 tbps hemp seeds
- ½ lemon (peeled)
- 1 scoop Genuine Health vegan greens+ O
- Blend until smoothie.
- If too thick, add a bit of extra water to achieve desired consistency.
See? SO easy!
Hopefully these recipes help you get back into the swing as they’ve been helping me.
You know I take my supplement recommendations seriously and I don’t join forces with just any health food brand. I really believe in Genuine Health because they have lead the charge in super food greens powder for over 25 years, their products are backed by credible research and always include clinically-proven ingredients to help #LoveHowYouFeel.
