Blueberry Power Smoothie

Here is my blueberry power smoothie recipe. I used to make myself a smoothie when I was in a rush to get out the door in the morning. Now, on my new eating journey, I try to chew all of my food instead of making smoothies. Chewing slows the absorption of fructose, so I don’t get a suger high. I still like to have an occasional smoothie after I do a workout at the gym for the added protein. I have the smoothie in addition to my lunch or snack ,so I don’t get the sugar rush. This smoothie goes well with my Vegan Oil Free Banana Bread.

The Daily Dozen

This smoothie helps me to get five to six foods in Dr. Gregor’s Daily Dozen food categories. His book, How Not To Die, lists the Daily Dozen. I strive every day to accomplish the goal of eating the daily dozen. I know I’m eating a balanced diet by following Dr. Gregor’s food plan. I get greens, berries, fruit, seeds, and beverage. I have an app on my phone “Daily Dozen”, so I can check off off the foods I eat. It is a nice way to stay on track, and I like seeing that I have achieved my goal.

Get the ingredients for a Blueberry Power Smoothie:

• 1 frozen ripe banana
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 scoop Vegan Raw protein powder
• 1 Tbsp. flax seed
• 1 handful spinach or kale
• 1 cup oat milk or any nondairy milk

Let’s Start Cooking:

Start by gathering your ingredients. I’m using Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein Powder. Because I am a chocoholic, I like the chocolate flavor best.

Almost forgot my banana. I usually use a very ripe frozen banana to make my smoothie cold. That is my favorite way to drink smoothies.

Put all ingredients into the blender. If your banana is frozen, I find it blends better if you break it into two or three pieces.

I add 1 cup of oat milk and blend for 3 minutes.

If you like the cutting board, my nephew sells beautiful custom made cutting boards on Etsy. I hope to showcase more of his products in the future. His name is Trevor and he is very talented.

Notes

You can always use your favorite non-dairy milk. My favorite is vanilla oat milk. I sometimes buy unflavored for some recipes.

I like using a frozen banana to make my smoothie nice and cold. You could add a few ice cubes if you are using a room temperature banana to cool off your smoothie.

When my bananas get very ripe, I like to freeze them and save them for smoothies and other recipes.
