Energizing Green Berry Smoothie

,Jump start your day with an energizing smoothie that takes less than 5 minutes to make.  This tasty green berry smoothie is the perfect breakfast choice or snack for those on the go.  

Packed with low glycemic fruits, powerful greens and fiber this smoothie is essential to balance your digestive system and give you the protein and nutrients your body needs. Topped off with essential fatty acids crucial for your body to function, it ensures the stay-power to keep you satisfied until lunch or in between meals. 

Essential fatty acids are important to take in as our bodies do not make them. We need to eat foods rich in fatty acids like chia seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, salmon, or other sources.  They are also known for their anti-inflammatory effects.
 
By adding the South American superfood chia seeds to your smoothie, you are getting a powerhouse of omega 3’s and nutrients. Grown in Mexico and South America, ancient civilizations believed that the chia seed provided supernatural powers. In Mayan, “chia” means “strength.”  Chia seeds have little to no flavor and can be added to a wide range of foods for texture.
 
Flax is another rich source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, called alpha-linolenic acid (or ALA). Flaxseeds are most beneficial when ground into flaxseed meal as it helps absorb the fiber it contains keeping you full until your next meal.

1 tablespoon chia seeds

Sunshine Smoothie Bowl: Perfect for When You Want to EAT Your Nutrition (Instead of Drinking It!)

Smoothies are one of the best ways to get large quantities of fruit, greens, and superfoods into your diet…but all of that drinking your meals, instead of eating them, can get old fast. Smoothie bowls offer the perfect solution. They’re composed of a thick smoothie (with the consistency of sorbet) layered in a bowl with colorful, crunchy toppings. Smoothie bowls are eaten with a spoon instead of a straw and they’re more of a celebration than a chore to eat. Plus, they’re ideal for kids since they can top their own smoothie bowls according to personal preference!

Theoretically you can turn any smoothie recipe into a smoothie bowl recipe by decreasing the quantity of liquid. You will need a high powered blender capable of handling thick, frozen fruit based concoctions. This recipe offers a tried-and-true formula for crowd-pleasing smoothie bowls. The flavor profile can be varied endlessly.

This sunshine smoothie bowl is a unique, lemon-flavored bowl with a bright fresh color and flavor, punctuated with the spicy kick of ginger and cilantro. It’s sunny appearance and immune-boosting add-ins make it the ideal breakfast or snack during the wet, rainy days of spring. Add some sunshine to your life and keep your immune system happy with this simple recipe.
