Loading ...Notes:
this may not sound great, but try it. I guarantee, you will love it. My kids drink this, and their friends do too. This is packed with beta carotene, vitamin a and c, omega 3, and fills the fruit and veggie quota. very filling, and GREAT energy booster before a workout. this is all I have each morning.
You will need a blender. Add the ingredients to the blender in order slowly while set to ’blend’. after adding the ice at the end, set to liquify for about 15-20 seconds! this drink has alot of carbs, so you may need to reduce the fruit content, depending on your situation.
1 cup of apple or orange juice (to cut carb coount, reduce to half juice, half water)
2 handfulls of washed raw spinach
8 small baby carrots
1 tbsp whole flax seed (omega 3)
5 medium strawberries
4 medium radishes
2 bananas (can eliminate 1 banana to cut calories, but great source of potasium)
1 tbsp honey (natural antibiotic) I hate artificial sweeteners. honey has great health benefits
1 cup ice cubes
Makes 3-8oz servings. can be stored in fridge for up to 24 hours.
optional add ins-blueberries (great antioxidant properties)
sweet vidalia onion (contains quercitin, natural anti inflammatory)
lowfat yogurt or soy milk to make it more creamy, and freeze to make frozen treat.
or add water to make it thinner!
experiment, and have fun…just don’t add garlic…thought i could sneak it in…huge mistake! couldn’t get near people for a week.
