Servings 2 smoothie

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 Banana
  • 1 tbsp seed or nut butter
  • ½ Lime juiced
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • handful greens
  • 1 cup milk of choice

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients into the blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Split between two cups and enjoy!

Notes

  • When bananas are starting to brown I peel them and put them in the freezer so I always have bananas on hand for smoothies. Frozen bananas add creaminess to smoothies and make them extra cold.
  • I use hemp hearts in this smoothie but chia seeds, pumpkin seeds or even a tbsp of a nut butter would be a great option.
  • Cardamom is a spice that help reduce that summer time water retention swelling. Can be omitted however if you don’t have it in your home. Fresh ginger might be a good option too.
  • I added some cilantro to mine this morning. Just a bit of it, since it has great detoxifying properties. You can add spinach, kale, swiss chard or parsley as good substitutes to boost the nutrients.
  • I used homogenized milk since that’s what we had. Coconut milk would really round out the refreshing flavour on this, but use whatever you have on hand.
  • Make extra and pour into popsicle molds for quick easy treats!
