These days it seems like the word on everyone’s lips is SUPERFOOD. What exactly is a superfood? Any food whose nutritional benefits majorly outweigh the calorie count, basically. Whether the nutrients in question are vitamins, fiber, or antioxidants, all that matters is that you get a high level of healthy nutrition compared to other foods with similar caloric value. Kale, avocado, and almonds are some examples of particularly Californian superfood favorites!
At Clutter Healing, we love the concept of a superfood–anything that gives you maximum rewards with minimal effort (and maximum efficiency) is fine by us. A smoothie will save you time in meal preparation, while the superfood ingredients will do their job giving you tons of nutrients in every sip. We’ve got 3 smoothies recipes that will taste great AND make you feel super-good. All you need is a decent blender to make a:
Green Dream Smoothie
½ Cup Apple Juice
1 Apple Chopped and Cored
½ Avocado Chopped
½ Cup Kale
Blend smoothly and add water slowly to taste
Date Night Smoothie
4 Dates
1 TSP Almond Butter
½ Cup Greek Yoghurt
½ Cup Almond Milk
½ Banana

Blend until smooth. Top with mixed or seasonal berries.
Berry Nice Smoothie
1 Cup Fresh or Frozen Raspberries
¾ Cup Almond Milk
¼ Cup Cherries or Strawberries
1 ½ TBS Natural Honey
2 TSP Ginger
