After Thanksgiving you may be looking for a really good upgrade for your food intake!
I found a recipe in my favorite e-book: "crazy sexy Juices & Succulent Smoothies" by Kris Carr called "Breakfast of Champions," a recipe contributed by Christine Cook. I did tweak it as I love my coconut milk! The recipe below is what I made this morning ... it truly gave me tons of post Turkey Day energy and it kept me full past lunch!
Just a heads up ... this makes 48 oz! I shared it with my husband and daughter ... who had no idea there were greens filling their glasses! If you are afraid of green drinks, here is another one to convert you (and your family)!
Now is a great time to refuel with some great foods as we are now into the holiday season of over-indulgences and those stresses that usually catch us off guard in December. Do something good for yourself and drink those fruits and veggies to boost your immunity and keep you going like the Energizer Bunny! Once you incorporate these energy boosting drinks into your day, you will make it a part of your routine. Your brain and your gut are very good friends. There is a direct line of communication between your belly and brain. What you put in one majorly affects the other!

| Brain in Belly ... ok not this direct but there is such a connection with how we feel when we eat well! |
Makes 48 oz.
3 big handfuls of spinach or baby kale
1 banana
1 green apple
2 handfuls of frozen blueberries
5-6 frozen strawberries
5-6 pieces of frozen mango
1 scoop of protein powder (I use Jay Robb's egg white protein)
2-3 cups liquid enough to think it to your preference (I used coconut milk along with water)
Blend and serve immediately!
