Nothing beats a refreshing smoothie when you feel hot and tired in the morning (I admit this is more of a summer recipe, but who says that food has to be seasonal) This is one of my go to smoothies because not only is it jam packed with nutrients, but it is light and refreshing but somehow filling at the same time.
.1/4 mango
.1/2 Cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
.1 tsp coconut oil
.1 tbsp flax seed, avocado, or nut oil
.1/2 tsp spirulia powder or liquid "greens" mix (optional)
.1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts, rinsed well (If you are pregnant you may wish to avoid these due to a higher risk of ecol i contamination , so use kale, spinach, or other greens, instead) :)
.pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
.protein powder of your choice (check for additives and make sure it is a quality product) OR pasteurized egg whites (this makes the drink nice and throthy) OR 1/4 cup of ground nuts
This is my go to beverage when I feel under the whether, after a pig out session, or when I need a little pick me up, and it never ceases to fail!
