Recovery Monster

I started making this after my workouts. I wanted to give my body a huge dose of protien.

2 cups of water (more if needed at the end)
1 tablespoon of organic, extra-virgin coconut oil
1 banana
1/2 of a Hass avocado
1/2 cup of blueberries
1 scoop of Garden of Life's Super Seed Beyond Fiber
1 level tablespoon of hemp powder (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
1 level tablespoon of ground flax or flax meal (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
1 level tablespoon of ground chia
1 level tablespoon of spirulina
1 level teaspoon of maca powder
1 level tablespoon of cacao nibs
1 tablespoon (about 5 full-sized halves) of walnuts
1 tablespoon (10 whole pieces) of raw almonds
1 tablespon of raw cashews
1 level tablespoon of raw hulled pumpkin seeds
1 level tablespoon of raw hulled sunflower seeds

Put everything in the blender and mix thoroughly. I will admit, this doesn’t taste fantastic but it wasn’t disgusting either. If you want to sweeten it, you can add a bit of raw honey.  This recipe makes enough for 2.  You can either share it with someone or you can store half for the next day.  The best way to store it would be to put half in the freezer in ice cube trays.  When they freeze, pop them out and put them in a freezer bag.  Lable it as one serving.  When you want to use it, throw them in the blender with some water!

PURPLE PLEASURE Smoothie **Green Monster**

You can just see the antioxidents swimming in this yummy smoothie! 

1 cup of water
1 heaping teaspoon of Spirulina
15 pitted cherries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup black raspberries or blackberries
1 banana

Put the water, spirulina, and banana in the blender and get it whirling.  If your fruit is frozen, add the rest of the fruit a little at a a time.  If it's all fresh, you can put everything in the blender at once and let 'er rip!

BERRY GOOD SPROOZIE Smoothie **Green Monster**

I know......corny name. I just got done with a run and a milk-based smoothie didn't sound refreshing so I used sparkling water instead. I also didn't have to worry about watching the blender too carefully because this won't thicken like milk-based mixes do. Enjoy!

2 cups of flavored sparkling water (I used mixed-berry)
1 cup of berries (any kind)
1 tablespoon spirulina (optional if you want to make a Green Monster (Green Monster is a trade mark of http://ohsheglows.com/ so check it out!)

Blend everthing together, pour and enjoy!

GREEN GODDESS Smoothie **Green Monster**

1 cup hemp milk or almond milk
1 banana
6 medjool dates pitted and chopped
1/2 of an avacado
3 large kale leaves
1 small handful of baby spinach
2 cubes of frozen wheatgrass juice
1 tablespoon of spirulina powder

Get the milk going and quickly add things, as this has a tendency to get thick fast. You can always thin it with water. It's pretty stong but the dates will sweeten it.
