RECIPE #1: BUSY DAY QUICK & EASY GREEN SMOOTHIE: (More elaborate ones follow) (my personal favorite) or a Blendtec.
Tools: VitaMix Blender
Ingredients: Place the ingredients in the blender in this order.
2 cups filtered water if you have it. If not use what you have.
2 TBspns. flax seeds
1/2 Entire Head of curly Raw Kale **
2 cups of frozen strawberries
2 cups of frozen peaches
2 Scoops of Vanilla or Strawberry Healthy N Fit Egg Protein *
Last 2 cups of Water (filtered if you have it) as needed. If the smoothie is too thick add more water.
I put about 1/2 water in first, then my flax seeds. Then the greens and blend these first. (It seems to work that way better for me)After the greens are blended I add the frozen fruit. Of course use fresh fruit if you have it, but I mostly use frozen for convenience. Add water if blender is having trouble mixing the ingredients. I like the Vita-Mixer because of the tamper and I find it helps me blend quicker.
The very last ingredient I add is the protein powder. I only swirl it around for a few seconds, because it
tends to add “bulk” and air ands take up too much room in the blender.
Pour into glasses or jars and serve - Ingredients:
* (egg protein powder is recommended you’re lactose intolerant)
