Directions for all Smoothies:
Place ingredients in a high-speed blender in the order they are listed. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Notes on Smoothies:
- Freezing bananas before using magically turns them into little sweet cream factories.
- If you like your smoothies creamy in texture but detest bananas or are allergic, the best substitutes are avocado, non-dairy yogurt or to simply add more nut milk to a high-speed blender.
- Remember to go easy with the fruit! Just like with making juices, balance out the fruit with green veggies, plant proteins &/or healthy fats in a 3:1 ratio. For every cup of fruit you need to add at least 3 cups of veggies/proteins/fats for your smoothies.
- Please do not use extracts which contain alcohol & usually a high amount of toxins harmful to the liver & kidneys, our primary detoxification organs.
- Play around with nut milks to find the texture & flavor you prefer. Cashew is the mildest in flavor. Coconut milk adds more of a creamy texture. Almond is the most versatile.
- If the mix seems too thick, you can always add water until you find your preferred consistency.
- Add a tablespoon of flax or chia seeds to your smoothies to boost fiber!
- Hemp, Chia & Flax Seeds are all interchangeable. Please feel free to substitute whichever you have available or prefer.
- Read the labels on protein powders. Be sure it has no added sugar.
- A lot of protein powders can be chalky. My recommended brand is Vega Sport. The Chocolate is the best! And the Berry really amps up any smoothie with berries in it.
- Please soak nuts like almonds & walnuts overnight before use. If you’re new to soaking your nuts & legumes, please review the guide to soaking in the HSGlow E-book.
- Keep it simple by creating Smoothie Kits! Prep all the fruits & veggies you will need for a recipe. Store them in reusable produce bags in the frig so all you need to do is grab, add the liquids & blend! 😉
- Rotate your greens daily to maximize nutrient intake!
