Today's Smoothie - Random Muddy Lover

What a weird name for a smoothie, I know... But it suits the smoothie so well! This smoothie has random things in it that I wouldn't have thought taste well together, but they actually worked! (Yay!) It's filling, and a great jump of energy to start the day! I even stuck some greens in there... ;)

Today's Smoothie: Random Muddy Lover

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup coconut water
  • 1/4 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop Vega Health Optimizer - Vanilla Chai flavour (this stuff is available at Whole Foods and other health food stores. My friend works at Nature's Source, so I picked up some of this from her. Bonus: They have it on sale right now, which is always good! You can also purchase it online here, or check out their website for the newer versions of this product. I personally really dig the flavour of the original one, so I'm glad I picked up some before they made the switch to a new version!)
  • Small handful of red seedless grapes
  • Small handful of frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 or 4 large kale leaves (just the leafy part, no stems!)
Method
  • Blend all ingredients together, and drink up! :)
Here's some pictures! I know you may think it looks gross, but the colour is a really interesting mix of purple and green. I love it! (The Vega Health Optimizer is actually green, even though it has a vanilla chai flavour. Awesome!)

Just look at that colour! You know it's good for you if it looks like this...

Yum! :)
