*Green drink powder:
Literally, that’s what it’s called. You can get it at Trader Joe’s . You can use this in veggie-based smoothies (it’s a color thing, since they are already green) to add anti-oxidant boosting power. It’s berry flavored though, so it works in many a smoothie. It’s full of things like spirulina and seaweed and other stuff people like to call “superfoods.” Same deal as green, but it’s red and it’s pretty flavorless to me. It’s full of berry goodness from like 12,000 fruits I can’t bother to re-list here. When I refer to “1 scoop of anti-oxidant boosting powder” in my daily recipes, I am talking about one of these two powders.
*This is the single most valued smoothie ingredient.
You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds to your diet every morning, things will finally start, umm, moving through your digestive tract.
Chia seeds can be soaked before adding to a smoothie, which will make them soft, but you can just throw them in. They add a little crunch, kinda like the seeds on the outside of a strawberry. Whichever way you do it, I can’t recommend these enough.
*You can use regular flax seeds, but having them pre-ground is nice for a smoother smoothie. Flax seeds MUST be ground (broken open) in order to access & benefit from it's nutritional value. Flax seeds add omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, and lignans, all of which work together to make you healthier in like 10,000 different ways. You should add flax seeds to your diet whenever you can because there is some evidence they help prevent cancers. Who knows if that is true, but it feels good and it’s not hurting us to eat them. And any natural way to add fiber is always a good thing.
*Ok, this one is probably a little weird, but keep it on hand during smoothie-making, crush up some fennel seeds (from the spice section of the grocery store) and boil them in water. Let it reduce down a bit so the tea is concentrated, then strain out the seeds. Add to smoothie, watch gas/bloating/ibs symptoms subside.
*You can make a smoothie out of pretty much anything, but it helps to think about it like this…
Some liquid (water, milk, yogurt),
something frozen (either pre-frozen fruit or ice),
some fresh fruit, a bit of veggies/leafy things,
any supplements you like, and
occasionally if necessary a sweetener (it usually isn’t, but if so I like honey)
and/or spices (cinnamon or ginger are the ones we use most often).
