Berry and Greens Smoothie

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It's flu season and it's a bad one.  I'm downing these berry and green smoothies to keep my immunity up.

It is just one of those morning where nothing really sounds good but I know I need some nutrition to get going with the day. This berry and greens smoothie usually does the trick--loaded with good for you ingredients:

  • supergreens or kale (for you, know greens)
  • berries (the best antioxidants)
  • banana (my favorite fruit and adds a bit of substance)
  • almond milk (for a bit of protein)
  • vegan protein powder (optional, if you want a more bulky filling smoothie)

I made this today because I am on Day 11 of the Whole 30 and eating more eggs just sounds like the absolute worst.  Not to mention,  I feel like I might be coming down with a bit of a cold--so I need to get more vitamins immediately.  Sawyer and my mom have been sick and I definitely don't want what they had.  This nasty flu virus going around has really hit people hard.  I have been scarfing down vitamin C and looking for all kind of recipes to keep healthy. After the recipe, check out some other smoothie and juice recipes that I am going to make this week.  I am on a mission to stay healthy!
