Happy New Year everybody!
Whether you've been partying all night or simply need a jolt of energy before your morning workout, this smoothie might be exactly what you need.
This smoothie has many ingredients that I felt I need this morning, many of them adaptogenic herbs well known and well researched for their restorative powers. You may want to choose only a few of them or add some others. Just make sure that your smoothie gives you the energy you need to have a really good start into the New Year. Use organic ingredients whenever you can.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 cup almond milk (home-made if possible)
- 1 banana, roughly chopped
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups mixed frozen fruit: pineapple, mango, passion fruit
- 1 apple, cored and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh broccoli sprouts
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger root
- 1/2 cup supergreens powder
- 1/4 cup maca powder
- 1 tsp ashitaba powder
- 1 tsp astragalus powder
- 1 tsp agaricus blazei powder
- 1 tsp reishi powder
- pinch cinnamon
- pinch Celtic sea salt to balance the flavors
- 2 Tbsp cold pressed hemp oil
Method:
- Place all ingredients, except the hemp oil, in the bowl of your blender and whiz until smooth and creamy. If necessary add a little more liquid. For best results follow instructions of your blender's manufacturer.
- Add the hemp oil and blend again for a few seconds.
- Pour the smoothie in to tall glasses and enjoy in good company!
This smoothie needs a "chaser" - I had a bowl of organic blueberries and feel super energized and ready to start the day.
I hope that this year turns out to be the best year of your life. Take good care of your body, take good care of your mind, take good care of your soul. Choose foods that will nourish you and increase your energy.
In radiant health, passionately raw - Dominique
