Yay for smoothies! But wait what do you put in them?

Yummy Smoothies!

Over the past couple weeks the people I am coaching along with a couple friends have been really working on nutrition.  Throughout this I realized how hard it is to find a tasty, well rounded smoothie recipe.

In today's society everything is so fast paced that it is almost impossible to get a good breakfast or get that protein in meal form post workout within 30 minutes.  For me smoothies have solved this problem for me! I have talked to a couple really great nutritionists and came up with some pretty great smoothie recipes that i thought i'd share!  I know each person has a personal preference on protein powder and fruits but here are a couple options that I think are really great.

Here are my three favourite recipes.  I usually do the first one because I LOVE pineapple but occasionally I will switch it up. All you do is put these ingredients in the blender and its ready in seconds!

Option 1: Mango Pineapple Smoothie

1 handful of Super food Greens (Kale, Arugula, Spinach) *You can get this at any grocery store

½ Banana

½ Avocado

1 tbsp of Coconut Oil

1 tbsp seed mix (flax seed, chia seed and hemp seed) *I make the mix myself and just store it in a Tupperware container

½ cup of frozen Mango

½ cup frozen pineapple

1 ½ cups of coconut water *more depending on the thickness you want

1 scoop of Vega Coconut Almond Protein Powder  (All in one)

4 drops of Vitamin D (1000mg per drop)

Option 2:  Chocolate Banana

1 handful of Super food Greens (Kale, Arugula, Spinach) *You can get this at any grocery store

1 Frozen Banana

1 tbsp of Coconut Oil

1 tbsp of Original Greek Yogurt

1 tbsp seed mix (flax seed, chia seed and hemp seed) *I make the mix myself and just store it in a Tupperware container

1 scoop of Vega Chocolate Protein Powder (All in One)

1 ½ cups of coconut water *more depending on the thickness you want

4 drops of Vitamin D (1000mg per drop)

Option 3:  Vanilla Berry Smoothie

1 handful of Super food Greens (Kale, Arugula, Spinach) *You can get this at any grocery store

1 tbsp of Coconut Oil

1 tbsp of Vanilla Greek Yogurt

1 tbsp seed mix (flax seed, chia seed and hemp seed) *I make the mix myself and just store it in a Tupperware container

1 cup of frozen mixed berries

1 ½ cups of coconut water * depending on the thickness you want
