Vitamin C Smoothie

By McCarleyRHLAC

Take a look at this list of ingredients. Imagine the health benefits!

Ingredients

• 2 cups water (use apple cider if you’re new to green smoothies)
• 1/4 cup goji berries
• 1 small orange chopped into chunks (chop the ends off but leave the peel on)
• 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
• 1/4-1/2 banana chopped into chunks (frozen is fine)
• 1/2 cup frozen mango
• 2 cups greens (I like baby spinach, kale or romaine)
• 1 tbsp ground chia
• 1 tsp spirulina

Preparation

Step 1

Add water to blender or immersion blender container. Add goji berries and let sit for a couple of minutes while you compile the rest of your ingredients. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you may want to let the goji berries soak for a little longer.

Add orange, blueberries, banana, mango, greens, chia and spirulina. Blend until well combined.

I also like to add in 1 tsp of gelatinized maca powder. It’s great for workout recovery and energy, it improves libido, and it has been linked to fertility.
