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.
