Nutrient Packed Smoothie Recipe
by: Erica Wells, RD
I love homemade smoothies for many reasons. When prepared right, they are a wonderful way to pack a lot of valuable nutrients into your day. They can be consumed as part of breakfast or a snack, and are easy to take with you when on the go. I like to make my smoothie as nutrient rich as possible choosing dark berries and almond milk for their antioxidant properties, spinach for iron and wheat germ for folic acid, adding a little honey for taste!! Using frozen berries eliminates the need for ice and spinach, when blended into smoothies, is relatively tasteless.
½ cup Berries (frozen)
1 cup chilled unsweetened Almond Milk
½ cup of Spinach
1 Tbsp Wheat germ
1 Tbsp Honey
Enjoy this recipe, all for less than 200 calories!!
