energizing power smoothie

Picture
I absolutely love smoothies! They are a quick and convenient way to boost your health at any time of the day. You can squeeze in a solid source of fruit, veggies, antioxidants, nutrients, etc in one punch. An added bonus is that by it all being blended in a smoothie, it makes it that much easier for our bodies to digest. Here's a smoothie recipe I like to use when I need an afternoon pick-me-up, an energy boost before (or after) the gym or just a delicious snack. ​


Ingredients 
(Makes one smoothie):
  • 1 cup dark leafy greens (Don’t be shy here— really pack those greens in the cup!)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 1 cup tropical fruit mix (I used a frozen mix of organic mango, peaches, pineapple & strawberries)
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1/2 tsp maca root powder
  • 1/2 tsp ashwagandha powder
  • 1 scoop plant-based protein powder ( I used VeganSmart)

Place all ingredients into your blender, blend until well combined and enjoy!



Superfoods breakdown:

Hemp Seeds:
 ​Rich in vitamins A, C, and E. It's also an excellent source of protein, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids [1]. 

Maca root powder: ​Boosts energy, mood, memory, metabolism and stamina (ancient Mayans are believed to have used it before battle) [2]. Maca is also rich in several minerals (copper, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium) and vitamins (B6, C, E), protein, fiber, and 20 amino acids.

Ashwagandha powder: Reduces stress and anxiety [3], and increases stamina. Also used as an aphrodisiac [4]. This powerful herb has also shown that it helps increase muscle mass and reduce body fat percentage [5].
