Today my breakfast smoothie may not have been green in color but the straw sure was! ^_^
However it did include some fresh organic baby spinach and green organic wheatgrass powder. I no longer crush up Chlorella and put in my smoothies, I just swallow the tables with water ( I don't particularly like the taste, and since they are in pill form I might as well swallow them! Easier and no taste).
My Smoothie today (makes 12 oz)- 1/3 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup frozen strawberries, 1 frozen organic banana, 1/2 tsp chlorella (has the highest chlorophyll content of all known plants...detoxifier), 1 tsp of freshly ground flax seeds, 1 serving True Whey vanilla protein powder, ¼ tsp pure resveratrol powder, 1tsp MSM, 1 tsp Maca powder, 1/2 tsp deer antler velvet, 1 tsp goji berry powder, 1/2 tsp wheatgraa powder, 1/2 tsp pumpkin seed powder, and enough water and almond milk to allow it to blend together (roughly 1/3 cup total).
