What rivals fresh-pressed juice for
getting your glow on? Why green
smoothies of course!
Green smoothies blend our fruits +
veggies, retaining the fiber. Green
smoothies are ideal for your morning
meals, morning snacks, and are especially wonderful for post-workout recovery.
Digestion rate is pertinent to postworkout recovery, as our cells/tissues
only give us about 60 minutes to get the
job done. Liquid nutrition does just
that! A superfood smoothie can help
you repair, replenish, and rejuvenate
your body!

My Daily Favorites
I‟m lucky to work from home, just steps away
from my trusty Vitamix and juicer. Rarely will
you find me without a mason jar of something
in hand.
From my special metabolic blend to my favorite
green smoothies, on this page I‟ll share with
you my staples for getting the glow.
You‟ll notice that I often use organic maca root,
bee pollen, royal jelly, spirulina, and Sun Warrior protein. These are all superfood
“supplements” and optional. Please check with
your doctor before incorporating any supplementation into your routine! :)
KICK IN THE PANTS
Metabolic boosting: check. Super hydrating: check. ph balancing: check.
This simple drink does it all! I put the
ingredients in a mason jar and shake it
up. Feel free to omit the agave, or
add Stevia.
1tsp raw agave
1/2 tsp (whew!) cayenne
Juice of one lemon
16 ounces of water
WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY : SMOOTHIE OR PUDDING
I enjoy this blended as a smoothie, and I also use this as a base for chia pudding.
Just whip up the smoothie ingredients, pour into a glass dish and fold in 2-3 tbs of
chia seeds. Let set in the fridge for 20 minutes, and voila..healthy pudding! Great
for breakfast, topped with fresh berries and coconut flakes.
Blend: 1/2 c organic raspberries, 8 ounces natural coconut water, 1/2
frozen banana, 1 tbs dried coconut flakes, 1 tbs raw cacao powder, 1
tsp coconut oil
IT AIN’T EASY... being green.
Oh how I love/hate my green sludge.
So good for you, so nose plugged &
bottoms up!
1tbs spirulina
1c kale
1/2 cucumber
1 tbs maca
8 ounces coconut water
WATER INFUSIONS
I always need a little flavor to get my
H20 for the day. I create my infusions
in mason jars & leave them to chill &
marry overnight. My favorites ~
*strawberry & mint
*orange, mint, 1 tbs raw cacao nibs
*lime & mint

Go Green 101: Use this handy guide to find the greens that will be best for
you. Look for dark, rich color in your greens which = nutrient density. Test
out a variety, and don‟t give up until you find the green blend you love!
Potent flavor, very easy to blend
Medium flavor, semi-easy to blend
KALE
Kale is a dark leafy green vegetable
that shares similar benefits of spinach and is packed with minerals,
anti-oxidants, beta-carotene and
fiber. All hail kale! Kale comes in
many varieties, so look for the
richest color for the richest in nutrients!
SPIRULINA
Spirulina is truly an elite superfood!
Spirulina is actually a sea algae, and is
one of the most protein dense foods
on the planet. It is also packs a powerful mineral punch, and is loaded with
B vitamins and vitamin C. For the ultimate green smoothie, add spirulina +
leafy greens!
Neutral flavor, very easy to blend
SPINACH
Popeye was a smart man! Spinach,
along with all dark leafy greens are
loaded with nutrients and can assist in the fight against osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer,
arthritis, and other diseases.
Runner(s) Up: Chard, Collard Greens, Dandelion Greens, Mustard Greens. For those new to green smoothies, try romaine to begin
with. Then graduate to spinach and other dark varieties! Spirulina & other powders are truly for the hardcore. ;)
