Best-Tasting Superfood Smoothies You Can Make At Home

Being healthy, isn't always easy but once you stay consistent and let new healthy habits get into your life, it will just become natural! Just like breaking away from sugar, it's hard at first but the longer you keep sugar out of your diet, the more you don't want it. 

I have a suggested smoothie recipe at the end of this blog but I wanted to dive into different types of superfood so you can create your own superfood smoothie combo if you want!

Because it's sugar content is balanced with fiber, it can help maintain a healthy blood glucose level, making it okay for people with diabetes to use.

 Don't forget to add your S'moo, it might not be a superfood but it's Ovary GOOD! 

• 1 scoop of S'moo
• 2 cups fresh Kale 
• 2 cups fresh spinach 
• 2 cups apple juice
• 1/2 Cucumber 
• 1.2 of a squeezed Lemon
• 1 Banana 
• 1 tsp fresh Ginger grated

Helpful hint: If you'd like to use less ice or no ice at all, try freezing your banana for this recipe. Just peel, slice in half, and place in a large Ziploc bag in the freezer overnight. If you'd like this smoothie to be even healthier, add more spinach and kale!
