I rarely share recipes for smoothies for two reasons, a) I
rarely make the same smoothie twice since I typically just throw whatever is in
my fridge into my vitamix, and b) because I created a smoothie
guide to help you mix and match your way to your own superfood smoothies!
That said, this blend knocked my socks off the first time I
made it, and after a little tinkering, I figured I’d share it.
1-2 medjool
dates, pitted (or other sweetener)*
3-4 stalks
of curly kale
¼ cup old
fashioned oats
1 handful
raw almonds soaked
3-4 broccoli
florets (chopped)**
1 stalk carrot (chopped)
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
1 frozen
banana
½ teaspoon
wheat grass powder or chlorella (optional)
4 cubes of
ice
1 cup water
or plant-based milk
* blending tip: if you soak the almonds and dates in water for 1 hour it will make blending easier, especially if you don't have a high-powered blender.
** blending tip: if you don't have a high-power blender, chop the broccoli and carrots into small pieces.
