Berries n' Cream Smoothie
Hey there! July is my favorite month...
It's the summer and that's my favorite season
I absolutely love to celebrate America + the 4th of July
My birthday is in July... helloooo July 7!
The sun shines, almost everyday
The days are longer!
I really could go on and on and on.
As I mentioned above, I love these warm summer days. I find that I crave lighter cooler foods in the summer like hydrating fruits and morning smoothies. You all know by now that I am a huge fan of smoothies in the morning. I love that you can create different combinations and pack them up with nutrition for a boost of energy first thing in the morning.
The smoothie recipe that I have for you today is so good you are going to forget it's healthy. This one is packed with flavor, protein, nutrition and has a delicious balance of fruitiness and creaminess. I make this one at least once a week, it has become for of my favorites. I'll even make this for dessert when I am craving something sweet.
Raspberries and Acai give this recipe a boost of vitamins and antioxidants that help ward off illness-causing free radicals. Chia seeds give you a boost of vitamin C, magnesium, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Maca powder is a root-derived powder that help balance the bodies delicate endocrine system to help cope with stress (source) and help boost energy, naturally, which is why I love it.
I hope you enjoy!
