Sometimes we need a break from our raw
Green Smoothies. So the next best thing for us is a Fruit Smoothie with some green powder. The flavor is not overpowering and the color of the smoothie does not change – so our son and my husband easily consume these fruit smoothies when they are tired of seeing pure green drinks in their glasses. We use 2 types of powders. One is
Products for Life Multivitamin Formulas Perfect Food™ Raw. It is raw green powder from greens, sprouts, vegetables, with chlorophyll, trace minerals, antioxidants, enzymes and probiotics. The other is
Barley Max, which is high in enzymes, essential amino acids, protein, vitamins A and E, folate, zinc, manganese and potassium. Note: we used to use another brand but it contained maltodextrin, which none of us agreed with. So check your labels!
One of our favourite fruit smoothies is the old favourite Straw-Anna. Ours is raw of course.
10 oz frozen organic strawberries
2 fresh organic bananas, peeled
1 – 1 1/2 cups water (depending on how thin/thick you want it)
1 tablespoons raw local honey
1 – 2 servings of any green powder
My husband and son love Acai drinks – but these are really ‘dead’. When they crave their purple juice, I try to make Cherry Smoothies and add some green powder instead.
Blend together:
2 cups organic frozen cherries
1 cup water
1 serving raw green powder
