Here's a Smoothie that's low in sugar, digestion-friendly, delicious and guaranteed to keep you fueled until lunch.
Ingredients.
1 handful greens [spinach, romaine or other greens you like]
1/2- 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice [try pre-cooking first then freezing]
1 cup bone broth, almond milk or water [try the bone broth - you won't taste it!]
1 scoop protein powder [choose a protein powder that's unsweetened or low-sugar. Try Equip Protein on Amazon, it's egg free and sourced from beef]
1-2 tbsp. almond or cashew butter or 1/2 avocado
1/2 cup frozen berries [I love blueberries]
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon to stabilize blood sugar
fresh mint [optional, but delicious]
1 scoop collagen peptides [optional]
Method.
Place all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until smooth. May need to thin with water.
Pour into a large glass and top with hemp hearts and bee pollen.
Tips.
Adding toppings like hemp hearts, chia seeds, bee pollen, nuts or seeds increases the need to chew. When you chew - you stimulate digestion!
Add the chia seeds to the liquid in the blender and allow to soften for 5 minutes before blending.
Drink your smoothie slowly while sitting down to improve digestion.
Pre-cook cauliflower in bulk then freeze in single serving portions.
Adding Bone Broth is a great way to increase gut healing.
