I am getting back into raw after about 6 months. I am trying to start out drinking smoothies when I'm hungry to give me energy and fill me up. I was wondering if anyone had some SIMPLE recipes that don't involve a lot of ingredients that I would be able to get all the vitamins and nutrients I need? I have some recipes but they have WAY too many ingredients. I appreciate your help. smiling smiley

Just blend any type of fresh, ripe fruit with your choice of greens - about 1 part greens to 3 parts fruit to begin with - and some hemp protein powder or hemp seeds, plus water as desired. Spirulina if you like. Simple, tasty, healthy! Some ideas: banana/peach/kale; banana/strawberry/spinach; mango/parsley; pear/mint/kale; orange/pineapple/banana/cilantro...the possibilities are endless!

this smoothie doesnt supply you with all the vitamins and minerals you need, but its definatly simple and whiel you're drinking it, you can really appreciate the flavors. it's delish!
mango, goji berries, and ginger. SO refreshing!
you can juice the ginger if you dont have a good blender to get the strings out.

simple great ones:

spinach banana (with or without OJ)

sprouts banana cantalope

watermelon mint (with a little bit of ice)

mango kale (with or without OJ)

coconut (water and meat) banana pineapple

strawberry orange banana parsley

apple banana cilantro

i usually just empty out the fridge with mine. anything that looks perfectly ripe or a little past is a candidate! i often add fresh turmeric, fresh parsley, fresh ginger, apples, grapes, fresh squeezed oj...

Just now I love to blend

1 handful strawberries
2 bananas
2 handfuls spinach
2 tsp cacao
pinch sea salt

Delicious and if you add a teaspoon of coconut oil it makes it creamier.

Super Breakfast Smoothie:
1. 1.5-2 cups of water(do not add juice due to the sugar or milk due to the calories)
2. 1 tblspn of Barlean’s or Udo’s Choice Flaxseed Oil(sold at Whole Foods or Sprout’s)
3. 1/2 stalk of Kale or Chard
4. A very, very small handful of Baby Spinach
5. 1/4 of a Grapefruit or Orange(due to the sugars be sure to not put more than advised, but this makes the shake taste great!)
6. 1 serving of Udo’s Choice: Wholesome Fast Food (powder with a whole lot of organic greens, enzymes, phytonutrients, and more)

Blend very, very well for about 1 minute to make everything into fine pieces. This drink will keep your blood sugar low in the morning which in turn keeps insulin levels low. When insulin is high- like right after eating sugary or high glycemic index carbs- you store fat.

Hard Work Always Equals Results.
