How To: The Perfect Smoothie

Hey there health-nuggets

I came across this amazing picture yesterday which pretty much sums up everything you need to know about creating THE perfect green smoothie and wanted to share it with you!

Step 1: Choose your base (250ml)
- coconut water for athletic performance
- green tea for energy
- purified water for weight loss

Step 2: Add your greens (2 cups fresh or 2 tbs powder)
- spirulina (can also use chlorella or wheat-grass)
- spinach
- kale

Step 3: Add healthy fats + fiber + fruit 
- 1 tbs coconut oil (can also use any oil or 1 tbs organic peanut butter)
- 1 tbs chia seeds (can also use flax seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds or wheat germ)
- 1 cup organic antioxidant-rich fruit (any berries, bananas, grapes or kiwi)

Step 4: Add superfoods for extra boost
- 1 tbs bee pollen
- 1 tbs raw cacao

- 1 tbs acai protein powder (I substituted acai with maca powder because it is well... just disgusting :) )

Step 5: Sweeten it up (1 tbs)
- raw agave syrup
- pure stevia
- raw honey
