True Green Smoothie

9/26/2018

​Let’s get green on this last hump day of September! Adding spirulina to a smoothie with lots of other delicious ingredients is one way to get this super food into your diet. If you’re like me, I don’t naturally gravitate towards spirulina, as many people do. It's an unusual flavor, so a richly flavored smoothie really helps. Kind of like a spoonful of sugar, helps the medicine go down., but in this case it's fruit. Fun fact - spirulina is one of the oldest forms of life on the Earth!
 
True Green Smoothie is a blend of kiwis, pineapple, kale, spirulina, hemp seeds, coconut, dairy free, yogurt and almond milk and packed with fiber, vitamins A, K and C. The pineapple offers anti-inflammatory and digestive aid properties. I’ve added just ½ tsp of spirulina, but certainly add more if you are used to it. Spirulina is a gold mine of nutrients including calcium, iron, magnesium and B vitamins, as well as promoting healthy cholesterol levels. Bottoms up!
 
Next week I’ll begin my Cozy Bowls series!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves: 1 - 2  (yields 12 oz of smoothie)
Ingredients
2 kiwis, peeled and cut into sixths
¾ cup kale, roughly chopped
1 tsp hemp seeds
½ cup almond milk, plain, unsweetened
½ cup coconut yogurt, plain, unsweetened
½ tsp spirulina
¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks

​Optional:​  
  • Add your favorite plant protein.
  • Add half a banana to increase sweetness.

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.)
