I love to make a big batch all at once to save time. It keeps in the refrigerator for two to three days or you can freeze in a glass container and thaw the night before drinking.

• 2 cups water or coconut water
• Organic spinach
• 1 head organic romaine
• Juice of ½ organic lemon or one lime
• 3 to 4 sticks organic celery
• 1 organic apple
• 1 organic pear
• Parsley, optional
• Pinch cayenne pepper, optional
• 1 shot wheatgrass, optional

Blend water, spinach and romaine. Add celery, apple, pear, lemon juice and herbs.

Enjoy the energy! 

When it’s cold outside and you want to warm up your insides, a frozen smoothie just won’t do the trick. You can still have all the components of a healthy shake but the warmth and nourishment of comfort food by creating “hot” smoothies. Use the recipe below as a base and switch up spices, drop in some berries or add protein powders to suit your palate. All you’ll need now is a frosty winter day.

• 1 ripe banana
• ¼-inch knob fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup hot almond milk

Warm the banana in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, while heating the milk on the stove. Blend all the ingredients in a blender for 2 minutes and you’re done. Drink it while it’s hot!

I love to drink a cup of this smoothie in the morning before my workout. I save another 1/2 cup for refueling afterward. Store the extra in your refrigerator for a snack later that day.

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or water
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• ½ packet of frozen Sambazon Acai Berry + Guarana Smoothie Pack
• ¼ cup Vegan Protein Factors powder in Vanilla Bean flavor
• Fresh strawberries
• Fresh blueberries

Blend all ingredients and enjoy a boost of energy!

This juice is great for kids or anyone new to green juices. I adapted this recipe from Reboot With Joe and it’s a hit!

• 15 strawberries
• 1 apple
• 1 pear
• 12 kale leaves
• 4 celery stalks

Wash all ingredients well and put through a juicer.

Enjoy!
