The Only Superfood Smoothie Recipe You’ll Ever Need
I’m not a coffee-drinker.
I know…your jaw just dropped, your eyes opened wide, and your heart skipped a beat. You’re probably wondering, “How can you possibly survive without coffee? How do you have enough energy to make it through your day?” The answer is simple: I start my day with a superfood smoothie.
Well, I actually start my day with exercise. As soon as I roll out of bed I put on my athletic clothes and get my body moving. But then I make my superfood smoothie. While I’m riding my bike, power walking, or lifting weights, I look forward to my delicious and refreshing superfood smoothie. I know my full glass will pack a punch of well-rounded nutrients to fuel my body for the entire rest of the day.
This is my go-to recipe for a morning burst of energy. It’s packed with antioxidants (fruits), vitamins (veggies), probiotics (dairy) and protein (seeds).What more could you want in a smoothie?

Looking for a morning smoothie that will fuel your body for the entire day? This superfood smoothie will fill you up with the powerful nutrients your body needs to function well.

- 1 Handful of spinach, roughly 1 cup
- 1 tablespoon whole flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Peel the carrot and beet. Place in the bottom of the blender cup.

Notes
You do not necessarily have to add the ingredients to the blender cup in that order! I just find that they items blend together better if I follow that pattern (root vegetables, liquids, seeds, greens, fruit).
I may try coffee someday, but for now I’m sticking with my beloved superfood smoothie!
