The new craze is all about juicing. I understand if it is hard for you to eat a large amount of raw fruits/veggies, so the easiest option is to obviously throw them into a juicer. However, depending on the quality of the juicer, some of the vital fiber can be potentially lost in the process. Plus, I just recently learned that if you do not drink the juice immediately, it oxidizes and loses nutrients that way too.

Do not get me wrong, I have definitely gone barking up the juicing tree, and I still juice every so often, but I am also back on the smoothie band wagon. So without further ado, let's get to it! I think the perfect concoction consists of the following: at least one leafy green/herb, mix of preferred fruits, almond/coconut milk, nut butter, and one supplement (chia, hemp, psyllium husk, flax, etc) and always, the 'cherries' on top: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raw granola, honey! It is truly scrumptious.

Here is my favorite right now, but it changes daily :)
1/2 ice cubes
1/2 cup almond milk
handful of spinach
1 banana
3 strawberries
1/2 cup of blueberries
1/2 a container of 0% fat vanilla greek yogurt
scoop of flax or other nutritious boost
pumpkin seeds
