Basic Smoothie Recipe

Smoothies can be incredibly simple or super complex. I find that the best way to make them as simple as possible – while still packing in the nutrition – is to use a basic recipe or formula. Then, as you become comfortable with that basic recipe, you can easily try new things like swapping in different fruits, greens, and other add-ins. The sky really is the limit on smoothies! Here is the basic smoothie recipe I use. It is the basis for many of my other smoothie recipes!

Serving size: 2

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups almond milk

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric

1 dash of black pepper

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1 handful broccoli sprouts

1 cup frozen fruit (banana, berries, mango, pineapple, ect.)

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until well combined. Add more milk if needed to thin out the smoothie or add a few ice cubes to thicken it. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!
