I’m elated to share another spectacular superfood smoothie courtesy of fellow smoothie master, Ana.
As a creature of habit who will often make the same smoothie give or take an ingredient for weeks, I wholeheartedly welcome new recipes and ingredient ideas.
This recipe contains many of my favorite ingredients such as cacao, blueberries, avocado, and spirulina as well as a nutritious new comer that I’d never considered blending.
This fully-loaded, energizing, brain boosting, nutritious, and delicious superfood smoothie will ensure you have the best day ever!
As you can tell by the name of this smoothie it’s chalk full of healthy ingredients. Almonds, berries, chocolate, spices, and an ingredient making its smoothie debut.
This smoothie was created for all the raspberry lovers out there. In case you didn’t know, raspberries are my favorite food.
I grew up picking wild red raspberries in a field behind my house, and sometimes from the neighbors garden ;)
My interest in foraging wild foods has since expanded. Although raspberries are still one of my favorite things to harvest. Black raspberries are most common where I live now, and as it turns out they pack more nutrition than the red variety. They certainly live up to the nickname “king of berries”.
Indulge in this delicious, nutritious, filling, and dare I say amazing treat of a smoothie!
All the credit for this fabulous recipe goes to Ana, a fellow smoothie enthusiast, and chocolate lover. While exchanging emails about smoothies, chocolate, and good food she was kind enough to share this recipe with me, and now the smoothie world. She even supplied the beautiful image to the right. Thanks, Ana!
This dreamy smoothie is similar to the one’s I make for breakfast. It’s loaded with nutrition and macronutrients to keep you full of energy and satiated until lunch. There’s plenty of healthy fat, ample protein, and it’s low in sugar – a winning combo in my book.
This is the elixir I regularly consume t
o ensure the best day ever :)
Elixirs replace smoothies in my regimen when there’s freezing temps and snow, which is about 4 months a year living in Michigan.
As with smoothies, I recommend developing a go-to elixir or two. My staple elixir is tailored to my personal nutritional needs and health goals, as should yours. Having a go-to elixir takes the guesswork out of what I’m having for breakfast and allows me to stock up on ingredients in bulk.
I’m extremely excited to unveil the first recipe with my favorite superfood, colostrum.
Why am I enthralled with colostrum? Why is it considered nature’s perfect food?
Every mammal produces colostrum as the first food for their new born baby. That alone should tell you something. Colostrum is a complete whole food, containing immune factors, growth factors, and a bevy of nutrients including all essential amino acids, fatty acids, and glyconutrients.
Colostrum, like coconut oil and chia seeds, is a staple ingredient in my smoothies and elixirs.
