Super foods are all the rage right now. At least that's the sense I'm getting when I read other food blogs. And I totally get it! I've been trying to eat at least 6-8 super foods a day and I've been feeling very energized and healthy. My favorite way to eat (or drink) them is either in a salad or a smoothie. So here is a great smoothie to have after a workout, loaded with super foods and protein to help recover.
Ingredients
1 avocado
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup soy milk
1 large handful fresh spinach
1/4 cup fresh pineapple
1 serving protein powder
Directions
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Can I tell you how completely surprised I was when my 8-month-old little boy grabbed my smoothie and started sucking on the straw like it was candy. Later in the day my 3-year-old asked me for another smoothie, when I asked him what he wanted in it he responded with, "ummm, spinach, yogurt, soy milk and avocado." What a happy mommy that made me! So I made it for him, with some pineapple added, and he drank it all!
