Smoothie

Combine the following in a blender:

  • Almond Milk (Can use regular milk or even water – almond milk is my preference)
  • Chia or Flax Seed (Optional)
  • Whey or Soy Protein – I use Body by Vi Sweet Cream flavor rather than Chocolate or Vanilla
  • Frozen Fruit – Strawberries, Mango, Blueberries, Blackberries, Pineapple, Peaches, Raspberries, Bananas, Apples, Etc.
  • Keifur Probiotic – Any Flavor (Greek Yogurt is another great option)
  • Coconut Extract – Optional (This really gives it a tropical taste no matter what fruit you put in it)
  • Oli & Ve Flavor Options (About a tablespoon for a 24 oz. smoothie) – Fig Balsamic, Red Apple Balsamic, Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil, Peach  Balsamic(Any fruit flavor or something that would compliment fruit would work perfectly fine)

Blend together and enjoy!  I try and mix up what I put in each of these to change up the flavors.  Spinach and kale are good additions, as well as almond butter (sold at Oli & Ve) and event oatmeal!  The options of what you can put in these are pretty much endless.
