I?m nearing the 3-year mark in my vegetarian lifestyle. I enjoy it thoroughly and decided, recently, to jump in and go full-fledged vegan. It hasn?t been easy to avoid dairy. Did you know how abundant milk proteins are in so many different foods? I?m becoming more familiar with food labels and what to look out for. .. including honey in breads, cheese in salad dressings, and so on. It IS a challenge, but one that I am enjoying participating in.
One of my favorite drinks that I can rely on always being 100% vegan and good for me, is my spinach smoothie. I usually make it for breakfast and it?s a great way to start my day with plant proteins, omega-3 and antioxidants.
My favorite drink gets mixed in a blender and consists of a generous amount of spinach, blueberries, banana, and almond milk. I stir-in some spirulina and chia seeds for an extra health boost. The result is a cold, smooth, sweet mixture of natural goodness. The more detailed recipe of my favorite vegan drink was posted recently at WiseNaturally.com as well and includes the measurements, etc..? on this Spinach Blueberry Smoothie post.
I?m interested in trying more vegan smoothie combinations. If you have a favorite you?d like to share, post it in the comment section for me. I?ve tried kale in this smoothie, and though I like kale in my stews/soups, it?s not ?smooth? enough in drinks for my liking. Blackberries, raspberries, mango, orange, and pineapple are all good fruit alternatives to add some sweetness to this vegan drink as well. If you are new to spinach smoothie drinking and choose to leave out the banana, I recommend adding a little agave syrup into the blend for a little added sweetness. As you become accustomed to spinach or other veggie smoothies, you get used to their taste and require less sweetness, but is all about personal preference. The important thing is to enjoy and drink to your health!
