Whether your goal is to lose weight, to gain muscle mass, to have more energy, or to eat healthier, smoothies provide a quick and delicious way to deliver a nutrition-punch to the body (and way tastier and effective that a multi-vitamin).

1. How to Make a Smoothie

2. Are you wondering how to make a
smoothie?
Whether your goal is to lose weight, to
gain muscle mass, to have more energy,
or to eat healthier, smoothies provide a
quick and delicious way to deliver a
nutrition-punch to the body (and way
tastier and effective that a multi-
vitamin).
The following is a 5 step framework for
making a never ending array of delicious
and nutritious smoothies.

3. How to Make a
Smoothie in 5 Easy
Steps
Step 1: Add Fruit
Pick 2-3 types of
fruits.
Here are some of my
favourites fruits you
can add to your
smoothie recipe:

4.  Apple
 Avocado
 Banana
 Blueberries
 Grapes
 Kiwi
 Pomegranate seeds (Note: blend extra longer
than usual to eliminate the crunchy bits)
 Pears
 Peaches
 Raspberries
 Strawberries

5. Step 2: (Optional) Add Green
Veggies
Optionally add 1-2 types of leafy greens
to your smoothie recipe.
Pick between:
Arugula
Beet Greens
Kale
Lettuce
Spinach

6. Step 3: Add Your Liquids
Add 1-2 cups of liquids and base (see
step #4) – enough to fill the base up just
below the fruit and veggies in the
blender.

7. Here are some liquids to choose from:
Coconut Water
Cold Tea (Green Tea, Rooibos Tea, etc)
Juice (organic, ideally not from
concentrate)
Milk (Almond, Dairy, Rice, Soy)
Water

8. Step 4: Add Your
Base
A base can be added
to make a smoothie
thicker, more
smooth and more
nutritious. While
Probiotic Yogurt
is undoubtedly my
favourite, the
following are all safe
bets:

9. Chia Seeds (sit unblended in the liquid
for 2-3 minutes before blending to have
the chia “puff up”)
Ice Cubes (generally not required if you
freeze your fruit for smoothies)
Natural Peanut Butter
Oats (for breakfast smoothies)
Yogurt

10. Step 5: Add Your
Superfood Boost
Adding a boost to your
smoothie gives you the
opportunity to double-
down on your nutrients
per glass and to
potentially increase
the absorption rates of
your
superfood supplements.

11. Bee Pollen
Fish Oil
Flax Oil or Flax Meal
Green Superfood Powders
Smoothie Protein Powder
Hemp Seeds

12. Step 6: Blend!
Make sure you wrote down your
smoothie recipe formula (in case you
have discovered a winning combination).
Blend until Smooth.
Enjoy. And please comment on this post
with your recipe if you’ve come up with a
delicious hit!
