Do you ever find it hard to get the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day??? I did too until I came up with a smoothie recipe that is super simple and gives me a great start towards my 5-10.
I fully believe that the key to living well and feeling even better starts with what you put in your body.
Spinach and blueberries are super foods that really pack a punch...here is how I put it together!
1/4 cup of plain yogurt (use Greek yogurt if you want double the protein)
1/4 cup cold water
1/3 or 3/4 cup of blueberries (I eyeball almost everything in the kitchen)
2 big handfuls of spinach (I promise you can't taste it!)
Last but not least, to add sweetness you can either add 1/2 a banana or 1/4 cup of apple juice. I don't believe in adding sugar to fruit, always try to find natural sugars.
TIP: Plain yogurt is low in naturally occurring sugars and is much better for you. You can use yogurt to make tzatziki, or put on your baked potato in place of sour cream. If you are tempted to lean towards that French vanilla yogurt instead of plain for your smoothie, try adding vanilla extract to your smoothie instead.
