Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Milk Dairy Free Almond, Coconut, Soya etc.
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Berries Fresh or frozen, any combination.  I used mixed frozen summer berries.
  • 2 Bananas Fresh or Frozen.  I used frozen.
  • 1 cup Oats
  • 2 cups 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.
  • 1/4 cup Almonds Whole or ground (ground if you don’t have a high speed blender)
  • 3 tablespoons Cocoa / Carob Powder
  • 1/2 cup Raisins Dates or Date Paste (I used Raisins)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Chili Powder or fresh Chili to taste (I used Cayenne Pepper.  I like spicy food but if you don’t like it so spicy just add a pinch.)
  • 4 Limes Juice of

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.
  • Substitute 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.
