Blackberry Green Smoothie

9/5/2018

Back to school, back to work, back to...well, maybe just back to YOU and your self-care routine. Today launches the Hump Day Smoothie Series on my blog. Each Wednesday as we usher in autumn, I’ll bring you a smoothie to energize your week, and make it easy to reset and recharge.

This Blackberry Green Smoothie might as well be called Brains and Beauty! Blackberries offer much needed ‘brain food’ for the work week (and always) and you’ll get your glow on with this powerhouse blend of fiber, antioxidants, rich in C and K, and a bit of probiotic.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1 - 2 (yields 12 oz of smoothie)

Ingredients
3 fresh figs or 1-2 dried figs
1 tsp hemp seeds
¾ cup non-dairy milk, plain & unsweetened
¼ cup non-dairy yogurt, plain & unsweetened
1 cup spinach
¾ cup frozen blackberries

Optional: Use fresh unfrozen blackberries and add ¼ cup crushed iced to bring up the cold. Add your favorite plant protein.

Instructions
1. Place ingredients in a high-speed blender and mix until smooth. (For most high-speed blenders, it is recommended to add the frozen items last.)
