I love smoothies because they are quick and can be super healthy and delicious!
Here is my list of superfood smoothie recipe ingredients:
- hemp seeds-these are great source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids and add a nice nutty flavour to smoothies!
- ground flaxseeds-great source of omega 3 fatty acids
- almond milk
- hemp milk
- rice milk
- rice protein powder
- hemp protein powder
- tahini-sesame butter.
- stevia-comes from a south american plant, has no calories, no sugar and isn’t artificial. please see the post “Sugar–what’s the deal?” for more info about all the different sweeteners!
- maple syrup and agave nectar–still high in calories but it’s so much sweeter than sugar that you only need a bit! Use 1/10th of the amount you would normally use if you were adding regular sugar!
*All ingredients should be organic if possible, especially fruit without a peel!*
*For Diabetics, use Stevia instead of maple syrup or agave for sweetness because Stevia has no calories or ‘sugar’ and will not affect your blood sugar!*
*For all ‘milks’ buy the unsweetened varieties and then add a bit of sweetness with fruit and/or real maple syrup or agave nectar
agave nectar and maple syrup can be used interchangeably (or see above if you have diabetes!)*
*yoghurt should be of the organic plain variety–you will sweeten it with all the yummy ingredients you will add!*
