Okay so you partied a little too hard this weekend and slacked on your eating habits a bit but now it's Monday and you want a push in the right direction. Don't worry we've all been there. Super bowl party food is heavenly how can we resist? Especially when your team wins *cough cough* for the FOURTH time!! *cough cough* and you want to celebrate with a sundae? Well I have just the thing to get you back on track and that is my Recovery Smoothie. Here's what you'll need,

Ingredients-

1 cup of kale(I used baby but you can use whatever)

1/4 cup blueberries

1/4 cup strawberries

1 cup of almond milk

1/2 a banana(I freeze mine before hand to make my smoothie thicker but it's completely optional)

1/4 cup of mango

I scoop of protein powder( I used the vega protein powder because it's my favorite and you get an extra 2 servings of veggies in it but you can use whichever kind you have.) 

This smoothie is loaded with debloating fruit like blueberries plus the fibre from the kale and the protein will help keep you full. Also did you know tha strawberries were actually shown to help burn stored fat? This smoothie will definitely help you recover from your weekend. 

Power Breakfast Smoothie

Morning guys!

Today I thought I would share the recipe for one of my all time favorite breakfast smoothies. I call it my Power Smoothie because it makes me feel so amazing and it keeps me full way into the afternoon. So here it is,

Ingredients-

1/4 cup of frozen mango

Half a banana(I freeze mine beforehand but that's completely optional)

1/4 cup of frozen blueberries 

1 to 1 1/2 cup of greens(these can be any greens of your choosing. I use a kale/swiss chard/spinach mix) 

1 scoop of protein powder( I use the vega protein powder in vanilla because it gives you extra greens and I like that it's plant based. I did a review on it a few posts back if you wanna check it out)

1tbsp of hemp seeds

1tsp of flax oil( this is optional but I like to throw it in sometimes

So there you go, that's my Power Smoothie. Just blend all that together and enjoy. Its a great breakfast any day especially if you're on the go and don't have time to sit down and eat a full breakfast. Plus it gives you a good dose of protein which helps keep you full until lunch and all the fruits and veggies keep you energized. If you try it let me know how you liked it!
