Here you go, Day 2 of 14 Days of Simplicity. I don’t know of anything more simple to do in your day then starting it off with a healthy power-packed smoothie.

I LOVE smoothies! They are my daily go-to breakfast 6 per week to get my super-nutrients in before I even walk out the door and the day truly begins. Smoothies make it so incredibly easy to cram so many good whole foods and supplements into the blender to whip together and create a blood sugar stabilizing, taste-bud satisfying, weight management elixir…its nearly fool-proof.

I say nearly because far too many people I know make their smoothies with adding way too much fruit (3-4 different types), or they add in sugary yogurts or even worse frozen yogurt and juice. Doing this increases the sugar content, leaves the cup with barely any protein and you have totally missed the opportunity to add in 1-2 servings of your daily greens.

Try these two recipes below, one is my Power Meal, a smoothie I will choose when I know my day is going to be very physically demanding and the other, Green Power is my average day go to.

Power Meal Smoothie

1 cup coconut milk

1/3 cup organic rolled oats

1/2 banana

1 tbsp raw almond butter

1/2 scoop Genuine Health Vegan Protein Power in Vanilla

1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries

1 tsp bee pollen

I blend for 60-90 seconds on low and if I need a thinner consistency or to make a larger batch without adding extra calories I add in some reverse osmosis water to thin it out.

Green Power Smoothie

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 banana

1 small pear, chopped

handful organic spinach or baby kale

tsp Genuine Health Green+O Acai Mango

1/2 scoop Genuine Health Vegan Protein Power in Vanilla OR 12 raw cashews

4 ice cubes

Blend on low for 60-90 seconds

I have dozens of smoothie variations that I create for myself and my family to help ensure we always get our daily essentials in.

Start today for yourself and your family and feel the difference tomorrow!
