Notes
- Smoothie Variations
- 1 frozen banana, handful of spinach, Stevia and a rounded tablespoon of
- or
- .
- Tropical Smoothie | Replace cherries with peaches, mango, pineapple and strawberries, keep the Clementine juice or replace with Pineapple or Mango juice.
- Try adding a healthy handful of fresh baby spinach, you'll never taste it, it won't be as pretty, but it'll be so good for you! I do this more in the winter for some reason.
- Add 2-4 leaves of fresh mint or spearmint, WOW!
- Chunky Monkey Smoothie | You guessed it, omit cherries/clementines; adding 1-2 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 frozen banana, handful of spinach, Stevia and a rounded tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter.
- Berrylicious Smoothie | Not unlike the Cherry Clementine, change the cherries out for any frozen berries you like or a mixture thereof. Just add water or keep the Clementine or Orange Juice.
- Blackberry Lime Smoothie | Such an amazing flavor combination! Swap frozen blackberries for cherries and in place of clementine juice add the juice of 1/2 a lime (about 1-2 tablespoons), you'll probably want the Stevia in this one and if you are a bit daring, add 1/4 - 1/2 of a creamy avocado!
