My Fav "Smoothie Challenge" Recipes

For the month of May, I challenged myself with a #justeatmoreplants smoothie challenge! For 31 days, I tried a completely different smoothie each day. Let me tell you, my smoothie repertoire has expanded! This initiative is to encourage all of you to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, especially at the start of your day. Some were super lit, and some were so so, but here is a full list of my favs from the challenge.

Smoothie Favs:

1. Strawberry Apple

2. Strawberry Banana Mango (add bananas)

3. Strawberry Banana Kale

4. Pineapple Banana

5. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup (substitute powder for cacao nibs and honey for dates)

6. Peach Banana

7. Blueberry Banana

8. Blueberry Morning (substitute almond milk for coconut)

9. Green Peach

10. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

11. Kiwi Banana

12. Green Apple

13. Green Apple Kiwi

14. Pear Ginger Lime

15. Pineapple Banana Spinach (add half cup yogurt)

16. Peach Carrot

17. Pineapple Beet

18. Beet Carrot Mango (substituted apples for blueberries)

19. Peach Cobbler

20. Banana Smoothie

21. Pineapple Peach

22. Beet Berry

23. Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowl (substituted frozen dragon fruit for acai)

24. Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl

Regardless of what smoothies that you try, don't forget your add-in's which will make or break the taste, the nutrients you're looking for, and how full you'll feel after drinking it. Mix and match some of these add-in's to get the full smoothie experience. I love Whole Food's, but there are least expensive grocery stores where you can get what you need. You can find any of these items in your local grocery store or farmers market. Do your research and read labels to see what benefits each of these add-in's bring.

Smoothie Add-In's:

• Chia Seeds

• Flax Seeds

• Hemp Seeds

• Trilogy Mix (My Fav)

• Nut Butter

• Plant Based Protein Powder

• Rolled Oats

• Dairy Free Yogurt

• Honey

• Agave

• Sea Moss

• Cacao Nibs

• Dates

• Ginger Root

Even though the challenge is over, this lifestyle isn't! Share with me your favorite plant based smoothie recipes and try something new. Growth isn't easy, but it's worth it!

Lively & Energetically,

Gia
