Supergreen Basil Smoothie

By Shirl

With this smoothie, I would like to show you how delicious breakfast can be without having any sugar at all. It might be a bit of an adjustment to be eating savory food for breakfast. The upside will be: far more energy and mental focus throughout the day. Your taste buds will adjust as well and sweet breakfasts might not be tasting as good as they once did.

Ingredients

• 1 small zucchini
• Handful of basil
• Handful of parsley
• Handful of sprouts
• 1 carrot
• 2 teaspoon lime juice
• zest from 1/2 lime
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 inch ginger root
• 1/2 cup of water
• I added 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (buy whole, grind and keep in fridge)
