The "Get Your Greens" Smoothie
I have been making smoothies every weekday for a few years now. I find it's the most efficient way to get a good portion of my daily fiber, collagen, nutrient, fruit and veggie intake. It's also super filling so it's usually all I have for breakfast. If I'm feeling extra hungry or if I've done a lot of activity, I make it a meal by adding some extra banana, gluten-free granola, and cashew butter.
The best part about smoothies is you can make them in such a variety of ways! I have provided my basic guideline for my morning smoothie below, but feel free to change it up! The key is to keep the natural sugars minimal.
