Ingredients
  

Thickie:

  • 1 cup Buckwheat Soaked for 8 hours and rinsed

Green Thickie (Optional):

  • 1 cup Spinach Or other mild greens OR if you run out of fresh greens, add 2 scoops of Amazing Green Powder for an extra healthy green boost.

Instructions
 

  • Blend the ingredients in the order listed. 
  • If you are making a green smoothie blend the greens and liquid first and then blend the rest of the ingredients.  This creates more space in your blender.
  • Add more water if required to thin it out.
  • ubstitute any of the ingredients for whatever you already have.
  • If your smoothie is too warm, you can cool it down in the fridge or freeze some of your ingredients before blending.
  • You can also replace half of the liquids with ice.  Add the ice at the end. It is better to add frozen ingredients at the end to cool the smoothie down.
