Hi #NOWFam!
It’s Emily Rae here with another recipe for y’all this week. Smoothies are a great and tasty way to get nutritious foods in our diet with little effort. Personally, I’m not a huge fruit fan and it’s difficult for me to want to eat many servings of it per day. This smoothie covers your bases with two different types of fruit and a few extra boosts from seeds + dates for good measure.
NUTRITION TIP:
Selenium is a nutrient that we commonly overlook in our diets. Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium. Just a few brazil nuts a day can give you your required amounts of this key trace nutrient!
INGREDIENTS:
Serves 1-2
3/4 cup frozen strawberries
1 banana
1 tbs cacao powder (sub cocoa powder)
2 pitted dates
1 cup soy milk or alternative milk of your choice
A pinch of salt
1 tbs flax seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 brazil nuts (sub a tbs or two of cashews- this helps make it creamy and decadent!)
DIRECTIONS:
Put all ingredients in blender and blend on high
Feel free to add a little extra soy milk if you have any difficulties blending
Enjoy!
