After rolling out of bed in the morning it can be so easy to opt out on a bite to eat. It is vital to put some food in your tummy before starting your day!
Acai Smoothie Recipe:
- 1 banana
- 1 frozen acai pack
- 1/2 cucumber
- handful of frozen strawberries
- splash of coconut water (you can be the judge of how much water you prefer. start with a little at a time)
- 1 tbsp of agave
- ice if you used fresh fruit
optional: protein of choice (if your vegan like me, you have to try a little harder to get in the right amount of nutrients. i recommend putting protein powder into your smoothies, grits and oats)
tips:
always use frozen fruit it will keep your smoothie cold.
you can even use coconut milk if you want your smoothie to be thicker/ creamy.
the acai berry is an antioxidant that helps balance cholesterol levels.
you can add chia seeds (these offer omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. they also expand in water which help make you feel full longer).
have fun smoothie making!!
