Though this creamy blend tastes like a delicious dessert, it’s chock-full of spinach, berries, and super, happy foods like raw chocolate and maca. The Super Smoothie is a meal replacement. It’s a key place to start when trying to lose excess weight, increase energy levels, and get healthier—and happier!
Before you get started, keep in mind the Super Smoothie is more about technique than anything else. You can take these same ingredients, throw them into a blender, and get a glass full of “lawn clippings.” So follow the directions closely.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 to 4 cups spinach
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or 1 organic egg
- 1 tablespoon raw maca powder
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 3/4 cup frozen cherries
- 1/4 cup frozen banana, sliced in small pieces before freezing
Option 1: A little raw coconut palm sugar for those who like extra sweetness.
Option 2: Three ice cubes or a small handful of ice for those hot humid days.
Toppings: Raw cacao nibs, goji berries, shredded coconut, or fresh local bee pollen.
