Morning Smoothie
April 23, 2010 | Life
The other day I mentioned my blender breakfast lifestyle and someone asked what exactly I've been putting in the BlendTec. Here's the current recipe with a few options.
Notes: When I say, "Tbs" I usually mean "heaping Tbs" – dump the stuff in there! If I use the "~" symbol it means I don't measure but am guessing the amount (just dump it in there!). I add the ingredients in this order because some of them start to expand and thicken in water.
- 8 - 12 oz water
- Big handful of leafy greens: spinach, lettuce, kale; mix it up.
- 1 Tbs raw cacao powder
- 1 Tbs hemp powder
- 1 Tbs hemp seeds
- ~ 1/2 Tbs cinnamon
- 1 Tbs rice protein, vanilla or chocolate (whatever's around)
- 1-2 Tbs ClearVite (horrible website!)
- 1 Tbs Vitamineral Green
- 3 drops liquid SteviaClear (that stuff is strong!)
- 1 Tbs psyllium husks
- ~1/4 cup Goji berries, maybe 20-30
- ~1/4 cup Mulberry berries, maybe 10-20
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 6-8 ice cubes
Sometimes:
- 1/2 Tbs chia seeds
- 1 Tbs macca powder
For years I ate a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast. Then for a few years I ate a 6 oz turkey burger for breakfast. Then for a few years I ate a peanut butter sandwich with Ezekiel sesame bread. This smoothie has far more nutrition, and keeps me full longer. I haven't priced out the per-serving cost, though it's got to be higher than a PB bagel. But it's so much healthier, and tasty. Much morning yum!
