You all know that I am all about healthy living. Well my new kick is juicing and green drinks. However, because I am breastfeeding, I am unable to restrict my calories; in fact, I must increase my calories in order to keep my milk supply up. This green smoothie is the best....I found this to be a great way for me to get my fruits and veggies in and have a complete, quick meal.
A few of you have asked about the recipe. In case others are interested, here is what my green shake consists of. Of course, you can modify it to your liking.
- 1 cup of water
- splash of soy milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 handfuls of organic fresh spinach leaves
- 1 green apple, cored and quartered
- 1 scoop of protein powder (sometimes I will use almond butter instead)
- 1 frozen banana (I am able to omit ice because I am using the frozen banana)
- Enjoy!
Add all ingredients into blender in the order listed. Blend until desired consistency is reached.
YUM! Healthy and delicious.
Off to bed now.... tomorrow is my first day back at work.
I'm gonna try this, what are chia seeds though? Can they be found at Ralphs or Sprouts?
