Up on the mountain here, smoothies happen at least twice a day as is sadly on a liquid diet. I generally make thick frozen smoothies, but especially since the jaw surgery those are no longer feasable (or apparently desired, who likes a warm smoothie? :P
does) we have had to thin out our smoothies for him to be able to drink, with jaw wired shut.
While he is stuck dealing with a crappy situation, he sure does have a nice smoothie view.
Something to point out about smoothies is that most good ones are improvised and totally based off of personal tastes. While I like a nice thick frozen smoothie, doesn't apparently prefer that even in the best of conditions. That being said, I'll make a list of what I put in this smoothie, but amounts of things are totally based off of your needs and wants. Want a thick smoothie? Lots of frozen fruit and not that much liquid. Add more liquid and get more of a thick juice texture if that's what you're into.
What you need:
spirulina powder
maca powder
cocoa powder
peanut butter
frozen strawberries
frozen or fresh bananas, depending on texture desired
hemp protien
coconut superfood powder
chia seed
almond milk.
The way I prepare it, it leads to a chocolaty, slightly fruity peanut buttery treat that's rich but not heavy, in my opinion anyway. It's my spinoff of the smoothie the Maniac, found locally at the restaurant Verde Vegan.
Let me know if you try it or have any questions. That's all I got for now, until next time, happy smoothies.
