#VANILLA ALMOND MILK SMOOTHIE FULL#

Play around and make this smoothie your own. Though I’ve tried other varieties, this one is my favorite because I can stuff so much spinach in there without affecting the flavor one bit – which, for the record, tastes like a creamy peanut butter banana shake. Really, it doesn’t get much better to me than having a giant green smoothie for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack.

Plus, I love all the fiber it contains, how it has a salty-sweet balance, and how it keeps me full ’til lunch.

I love that it sends me out the door with up to 3 full servings of fruit and veg in the mornings, leaving me less pressure to consume two huge salads for lunch and dinner to get my veggie count in. And it literally takes 2 minutes to prepare. The ingredients are simple and affordable: almond milk, peanut butter, banana, mixed berries, flaxseed and spinach. In other words, I love a raw brownie every once in a while, but for the most part, whole foods are where it’s at.Įnter this green smoothie. And if I haven’t had leafy greens in more than 12 hours, I kind of start to hyperventilate. Dark chocolate is my only daily indulgence. Things like meat, refined grains, heavy sauces, and cheese are consumed in moderation. I try and incorporate fruits and vegetables into every meal. I know I share a lot of dessert recipes around these parts, but I do, for the most part, eat a very clean diet.
