Strawberry Spinach Energy Smoothie

We love a good smoothie around here and this Strawberry Spinach Smoothie is both delicious and nutritious and very refreshing. 

It’s one quick way to increase the vitamin content naturally in one delicious smoothie serving. Quick and easy and so good.

If you have a hard time getting things done because you feel sluggish, sleepy and tired all the time, what your body needs is a great pick-me-up! And no, it’s not coffee your body needs! Your body needs minerals and nutrients that will balance your natural energy levels.

 

STRAWBERRY + SPINACH ENERGY SMOOTHIE

INGREDIENTS :

1 cup organic strawberries

handful of organic baby spinach (use as much as you like, about 1/2 cup or 10 baby leaves is a good portion)

1-2 cup coconut water or filtered water

2 tablespoon honey or agave nectar  or a pinch of Stevia

(completely optional) I did not use any additional sweetener in mine because there is plenty of sweetness in the strawberries and coconut water, but if you prefer it sweeter, a little agave or stevia would be great.

DIRECTIONS :

Wash and remove stems from the strawberries. Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend for a few seconds until all is pureed, sweeten as desired and pour into a glass and enjoy.

 

 

So now, when we need a pick-me-up, we’re happy to make a quick smoothie and fuel up on great nutrition in a very delicious and natural way ;)
