Green Juice

The fascination with green juice is nothing new, but the rapid adoption of new-age juice cleanses has brought the concept to the forefront of today's health vernacular.  Everyone in the community thinks they know and/or make the BEST one - and that's not a claim I will attempt to make here.

Instead, I present to you a green smoothie that's SO good, easy to make, and cheaper than anything you can find at your local health food store. It was my answer to finding a vegetable heavy, high quality protein smoothie that still tasted good and met strict low-carb requirements.

It's the perfect way to start your day - all you need is an ordinary blender and the following ingredients:

• 1 to 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 pear
• 1/2 avocado 
• 50g blueberries
• 1 handful spinach
• 5 frozen brussel sprouts 
• 3 florets of raw cauliflower
• Sprinkle of cinnamon 
• 1 scoop of nonfat greek yogurt (skip if you're vegan)
• 1 scoop Trader Joe's Super Green Drink 
• 1 scoop Vega Sport Vanilla Protein
