Beauty From the Inside Out.
I love fruits and veggies, but I never seem get enough of them, [NIH basic daily requirement: 1.5 cups fruit, 2.5 cups veg for inactive women] because my eating habits are so random. Some days I will only have tea for breakfast, and on other days I’ll prepare a mini-buffet. On my good days, I like to make green shakes. By green shakes, I simply mean a blended shake with vegetables. I have quite a few recipes that I’ve picked up over the years, and I’ll share with you my favorites over posts to come.
Shakes are quick and easy to make, all you need is a blender and a few ingredients.
Easy Chocolate shake
- 1 c. Tempt chocolate hemp milk
- 2 tbsp Navitas raw Cacao powder
- 1/2 banana [you can use a whole banana or freeze the other half]
- 1 tbsp Spirulina powder [or any green powder, I also use VS' Bio Greens]
- 1 – 2 tsp of your favorite natural sweetener [I didn't use one because my milk was sweetened]
- 1 tsp Chia Seeds *
Blend and drink.
*I add chia seeds to everything; this is a personal preference, they do have a nutty flavor. I did not use the figs pictured.
It's green!
