Chocolate Strawberry Power Smoothie

The number one question I get asked on my blog is what do I eat for breakfast? (I have no idea why either) but my answer is always a smoothie of course!  I alternate between my berry spinach smoothie and my Garden of Life plant protein smoothie.  It’s quick, it’s simple, and it’s packed with real nutrition.   I particularly like to make smoothies in the bullet because I love the convenience of grabbing the cup you make it in and taking it on the go. It fits perfect in my car’s beverage console.

UPDATE – things have changed around here, although I still love my convenient smoothies, I now start my day off with a green juice 95% of the time.  I picked up this habit in December of 2018 and I have never felt better!  I still drink this recipe as a snack.

My blog is all about nourishing your body with foods that heal.  As a former chronic disease sufferer I have learned to view food a bit differently.  These days with every bite, I think to myself “is what I’m about to eat going to harm me or continue to heal me? ” With that being sad, what I love about this power breakfast smoothie is that it is considered a definite healer in my book and here’s why.  The protein powder has 30% of our recommended daily protein, its grain and gluten free, AND its packed with probiotics! Almond milk contains high levels of vitamin E, magnesium, iron and calcium, just to name a few. Berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, (which is an immunity booster) and they also have anti-cancer, anti-fungal properties.  The added coconut water is a rich source of electrolytes and rich in natural vitamins (especially the B vitamins).  Compare that to a doughnut or a pop tart!  How would you rather feed your body?
