Green Smoothie - Keeping It Simple

Hello Hello! It’s that time again! Hope you are all having a beautiful weekend and enjoying this summer-like weather. I can”t believe how warm it has been this week! No complaints here….I’m actually soaking up some Vitamin D as I’m writing this post. So nice! So! This weekend’s Green Smoothie is super simple. I blended this up after my yoga class yesterday and again this afternoon. I’ve been reading so much on smoothies — Green Smoothies in particular and learning a ton.

Today’s Green Smoothie goes back to the theory of “Less Is More”. I usually throw in everything but the kitchen sink – using all my different superfood powders – Spirulina, Green Superfood Powder, Ground Flaxseed…just to name a few. But, just simply greens alone have so many amazing health benefits, contain loads of vitamins and nutrients, that I decided to just keep it simple this weekend – and I LOVED it! I popped into Whole Foods after yoga and picked up this new brand of Super Greens Mix by Organic Girl and I totally love it. The mix consists of Baby Greens: Red & Green Swiss Chard, Tat Soi, Arugala & Spinach. Without all my usual powders blended in, I could really taste the greens and it was just so clean & refreshing. Without adding all the extras, your body is able to digest and absorb more of the nutrients offered by the greens. Don’t get me wrong, I will still continue to use my powders but its really healthy & beneficial to mix it up a bit!

Super Greens Mixture. These greens are lovely – so clean & fresh! 3x washed so you don’t have to do a thing – just grab a handful or 2 and throw ’em in the blender. If you can’t find this brand just pick up whatever is available to you. (organic if possible)
