Berry Blast Smoothie

Pin It Now!

I made this smoothie for breakfast today. It is a quick and tasty way to get your day off to the right start.

Ingredients


1 cup coconut milk (or almond, soy, or regular milk)
1 Sambazon Unsweetened Acai Smoothie Pack (I get mine at Sprouts)
1 banana
1 cup fresh mixed berries (I used raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You could also use frozen berries)
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (or any type of nut butter, such as almond butter)
1 tablespoon light agave nectar
Dash cinnamon
Dash Jamaican allspice
Dash xanthum gum (optional - this just makes the smoothie thicker but is not required)
Handful of kale (or any other leafy greens such as spinach)

Preparation


Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.







This smoothie is not very sweet, which is the way I like it, but some people may prefer a sweeter smoothie. Try experimenting with different types of sweeteners to see what tastes best to you, including agave nectar, honey, stevia, and raw cane sugar (also known as turbinado sugar).
