My best days are the ones that start with a smoothie. Really, I function so much better with this boost of nutrients! (In winter, I chase it with hot tea so my body temperature doesn’t take a dip.)
What’s in it?
- Frozen banana for a creamy base (don’t skip freezing the banana – frozen banana chunks are a mainstay in my freezer);
- Strawberries for nostalgic childhood flavours;
- Blueberries for their antioxidants; turmeric for anti-inflammatory powers;
- Oats for sustained energy;
- Flax for Omega-3s;
- Peanut butter for extra protein;
- Dates for extra sweetness (skip this if the fruit is sweet enough for you);
- Soy milk for creamy richness (or just use water).
