Brain-Smart Smoothie – serves 2
The Omni Diet by Tana Amen, BSN, RN
Ingredients:
½ cup frozen organic blueberries
½ cup frozen cherries
1/3 banana
8 ounces pure coconut water or unsweetened almond milk
1 large handful baby spinach (about 1 ½ cups) – I promise that you can’t taste the spinach, but you can adjust the amount initially until you get used to it.
2 chard leave or 1 small cucumber
2 tablespoons hemp seeds, shelled
1 tablespoon coconut butter
1 tablespoon goji powder
1 scoop vanilla or berry flavored, sugar-free pea protein powder. It is okay if the pea protein is sweetened with stevia. If you are a large man, use 2 scoops.
1 tablespoon freeze-dried greens (Green Vibrance is one of my favorite brands).
1 dropper full berry or vanilla crème flavored liquid stevia.
