You all know I love smoothies and we drink them regularly in the Williams household. I found this great new recipe while I was searching for information on alkalizing drinks,new recipes for track season,gluten free diet ideas and basically trying to take my families diet and nutrition 2.0 Yes we eat pretty healthy, but for all of us, it is time for a fine tuning an early spring cleaning. So please feel free to join us as I tune up my family and maybe you can do a little tuning up on yours too!
Luis this ones for you!( Thanks for keeping me on my toes)

Super Powered Smoothie
1/2c unsweetened almond milk
1 1/4c coconut water
1c blueberries- pref frozen
2/3c raspberries-pref frozen (you can use frozen strawberries in place or in addition to)
1 avocado (slice in half, remove seed and then just squeeze each piece in half right into blender)
2 tbsp agave syrup or 2 tsp xylitol or stevia or a mix of 2 or 3 of these – I often use a combination
3 tbsp fresh coconut meat if you have some on hand (this makes it taste smooth and creamy-yum)
1 tsp vanilla- alcohol free liquid or pure ground vanilla powder
1/2 to 1 tsp super greens powder (very concentrated)
2 tbsp omega 3 oil (Nutra Sea +D is apple flavoured and tastes nice)
3-4 tbsp raw hemp nuts
Method
Place all ingredients in blender and blend well to mince the raspberry seeds, adding additional coconut water for consitency if needed. It becomes a nice thick creamy mixture as the avocado whips up quite nicely-as though there was yogurt in the recipe. I use a vitamix blender, it’s my most used appliance besides the juicer, read why here.
Yields approx 4-5 cups and serves many or a couple growing teenagers!
