This week I started making smoothies again. I went out and bought a new blender, which I've decided is handier than my magic bullet. Reason being, I can make two servings at once, take one to work in the morning, and then have the second serving when I get home from work. Perfect! What's weird though is that I'm not really enjoying them like I used to. They're TOO sweet. And that's without the usual vanilla yogurt, bananas, chocolate almond milk, etc. It's like my body doesn't understand why I would want to consume something sugary.
That said, I will keep playing with the recipe and see if I can't find one that is palatable. For the simple reason that I need the extra calories and it's super convenient. This is the recipe I'm working with for now:
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton, not the rich canned stuff)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup cucumber
1/2 cup chopped kale
1 tbsp raw almond butter
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 tbsp flax seed oil or coconut oil
5 ice cubes
