It all started rather innocently.
I had been slipping greens into what had previously been David’s all-fruit blueberry smoothie. He didn’t seem to care, or even notice for that matter. As long as they still looked blue, I was in the clear.
Then I went to Long Beach and saw David Wolfe make a superfood smoothie.
What can I say, I got inspired. David’s favorite morning smoothie was about to get superfood-ified. I knew this would alter the taste somewhat so I decided I would run the idea by him before I got carried away.
Me: “What do you think about me adding some superfoods to your smoothie in the morning? They have lots of protein and will give you even more energy.”
David: “Ok”
Easier than expected. The green light meant I was free to experiment. I had been making a few for myself and finally felt like I had a concoction that was suitable to share. too good not to share.
Superfood Smoothie
water from 1 young Thai coconut (if fresh coconut water isn’t available you can use packaged – I like Harmless Harvest or Zico)
handful of greens (whatever you have – kale, collards, spinach, etc).
1 c frozen blueberries
4-5 pineapple chunks
1/2 banana
1 Tbsp chlorella
1/2 tsp maca powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c ice
(Note: All measurements are estimates)
Now, after I send David off to work, smoothie in hand, I get texts like this:
If you love someone, make them this smoothie!
