Ingredients

• Approximately 1 cup ice cubes

• 1 cup frozen organic berries (blueberries are my favorite!)
• 1-2 cups organic spinach leaves or other leafy greens
• 1 scoop of Thorne Research Vegalite Vanilla protein (pea-rice combo)
• 1-2 TBSP of finely ground flaxseed or Chia (I use Salba)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon powder
• Optional sweetner: 5-10 drops of pure liquid stevia for desired sweetness.
• Enough water, coconut milk, almond milk, or rice milk (no dairy, please) to cover all the other ingredients – more or less depending on thickness desired.
• use water for lower calorie option OR 1/2 water and 1/2 coconut milk or almond milk
• For my smoothie, I also add 50billion cfu's probiotic, 6grams of l-glutamine powder and free amino acids.
