Vegan Green Energy Smoothie | Recipe

March 2, 2018 Leave a Comment

Jump to recipe

Happy Friday, y’all! Today I’m excited to share my recipe for a vegan green energy smoothie that tastes great AND it’s good for you! Even though I try to sneak some greens in my lunch and dinner every day, I feel like I’m not eating enough fruit or veggies on a daily basis – that’s where this smoothie comes into play. I’m not kidding you when I say I haven’t had that energy slump around 2pm (you know the one I’m talking about) since I started drinking this smoothie for lunch!Vegan Green Energy Smoothie with Paleo Ingredients

I actually didn’t know much about spirulina when Sari Foods Co. asked me if I’d like to try it, but I started doing a bit of research and found out that spirulina is made up of a blue-green algae that is arguably one of the most nutrient-dense foods ever. It’s also high in protein and vitamins, which can help boost your energy! I found the taste was mild at most and you probably won’t even taste it depending on what fruits and veggies you add to a smoothie.

The best thing about smoothies is you can’t really mess them up! You can add your favorite fruits and veggies and a scoop of protein to really pack a punch and it makes a great lunch on-the-go (or a post-workout snack!).

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
