WHAT YOU WILL NEED.
Let’s talk about the ingredients needed to make this delicious smoothie:
- Mixed berries: I love using frozen blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Incase one doesn’t have frozen berries, fresh can be used though the smoothie won’t be as cold. In this case, one can add a few ice cubes to make it cold. You can use a combination of the berries you have on hand.
- Baby spinach: They are rich in vitamin K and magnesium which are critical for bone health. No baby spinach, no need to worry! Regular spinach can be used. If organic, the better!
- Chia seeds or Flaxseeds: They are a great source of fiber and could benefit cholesterol levels.
- Water: helps in making the smoothie a smoothie. It can be substituted with any nut milk or fresh juice one has on hand.
- Peanut powder: A great source of protein. It can however be substituted with any other protein powder one has on hand or even a handful of nuts for protein.
- Cucumber: They are a great source of fiber.
