Power your busy day with this portable, whole food, nutrient-rich and filling smoothie. There’s loads of fiber and healthy fat, plant-based protein, phytonutrients and low-glycemic carbs. It’s a recipe by Dr Mark Hyman and it was posted at the ExperienceLife website. The recipe is at the end of the post.
One of my favorite things about smoothies is that they are infinitely variable. And Dr Hyman agrees with me, lol, for he says …
Improvise! It’s fine to use the greens, seeds, and seasonal fruits you have on hand — just strive to maintain suggested ratios.
