My Everything you Need for Breakfast Smoothie

Work from home has meant a dramatic increase in my smoothie intake. They are quick to make, easy to clean up after, and packed with nutrition. All of which are things I love. 

My smoothies tend to follow a formula of greens, frozen fruit, protein, healthy fats, a dash of sweetness and water. I try to make sure I have more greens than fruit and use a dark leafy vegetable. Spinach is my favourite as I find it also is the least overpowering, but I will also use kale or arugula if I am out of spinach. The fat from the nut butter helps it feel richer and keep me full longer, and chia seeds provides some added omega-3's and fiber.

Here is my go to: 

• 1 and 1/4 cup spinach (I use frozen)
• 3/4 cup frozen raspberries
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I use Vega)
• pinch of chia seeds
• 1/4 tsp Maple Syrup/ honey (optional)
• 1 tbsp of all natural almond butter
• About 2 cups of water
• Optional: 1 tbsp of fat free greek yogurt

1. Add all the ingredients except the water in a blender
2. Add water till you reach the top of your ingredients
3. Blend till smooth 

Enjoy!
