I started off with almond milk, avocado, apple, kale, cucumber, ginger, and (here's where it gets a little weird) sprouts and chickpeas. Blend.
I wanted to find way to add more protein, so I thought: why not try chickpeas? And it worked out great. I didn't really taste them (or the sprouts), but this smoothie did have a more vegetal taste, which I don't mind.
For some extra yumminess, I made a layer of chia seeds, blueberries, and pecans in the center. And I topped it with cinnamon, flaxseeds, shredded coconut, and two raspberries.
Yum, yum, yum! This is just a reminder to not be afraid to throw different veggies and fruit in. You might be pleasantly surprised!
Here is an approximate list of ingredients and their amounts. (Again, I never measure, but this will just give you an idea!)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 avocado
1 apple (I used McIntosh - my favorite!)
1 large handful of kale
1/3 inch piece of ginger root (peeled)
1 small handful of alfalfa sprouts
1 handful of chickpeas (I used canned)
4 cucumber slices
5 frozen mango chunks
1 tsp. raw honey
1 Tbs. shredded coconut
1 dash of cinnamon
5 pecans
1 dash of vanilla extract
Middle layer:
8 blueberries
1 tsp. chia seeds
6 pecans
Topping:
1 dash of cinnamon
1 sprinkle of flaxseeds
1 sprinkle of shredded coconut
2 raspberries
ENJOY!!! :)
