During the spring and summer months, I love to whip up a
fruit smoothie, chock full of local fruits, to help keep me hydrated and full
after a morning workout. However during these long, dark winter months, the
idea of fruit, ice and creamy cold sorbet seems counter-intuitive. Besides the
ice cold liquid can actually slow down our lymphatic system, an important part
of our immune system, increasing our susceptibility to colds and flu.
So, in the winter, I turn to this hearty and hydrating blend
to boost my immune system and keep my skin healthy.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ - 1 whole frozen banana
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup water (more if you like it thinner)
Directions: Place in blender and blend until creamy. Enjoy!
