+ Super Root Smoothie

Lately since it's been warmer in Denver I have been able to have healthy smoothies for lunch or breakfast. Fruit and some ice are a given, but I usually like to include healthy supplements, protein, omegas, healthy roots etc.  These following smoothie options have become my usual. I add a bit of each one to my smoothie.

fresh ginger root
fresh tumeric root
maca root powder
hemp protein
spirulina
organic greek yogurt


lately i have been pairing this combo with:

a whole banana
OJ
frozen pineapple
ice

tropical, green and delicious!!

+ food diary update

ive been making lots of smoothies and taking one with me to have on my morning commutes. when i dont have OJ for the mornings blending up a melon with alittle water and ice makes amazing fresh juice for breakfast. Cantaloupe and watermelon are out of this world. jewish style bagels with cheese and veggies, wild mushroom tacos...
