Green Berry Protein Smoothie Recipe

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWoNUkN7yec

How to make a good smoothie. One of many options for a smoothie recipe so change your diet and give yourself a smoothie challenge! Lose Body Fat and Weight like I did (Paleo, Primal) • My objective here is this: • 1- Meal replacement • 2- Nutrient density without having to eat a plate full of veggies and salad • 3- Protein, good fats, lower-glycemic carbs • The protein AND fat are very important to provide that satiating feeling and not feel hungry later as you might with just a fruit smoothie that is basically all carbs/sugars. Even with all the berries, the protein and fat also mitigates/reduces the insulin spike and absorption rate of the carbs. Also all the skins and fiber will have the same effects. • Since making these and adhering to a Paleo or Primal eating regime with the 80-20 rule, I lost about 20 lbs of FAT. I am under 10% body fat and only work out 1-3 times a week. If interested, an eye-opening documentary to watch online on this subject is Fathead . We have all been lied to! • For a shortcut, consider portioning all this in advance...except for protein...in zip lock freezer bags and freeze. Take one out the night before and put in fridge to thaw but remain cold, then maybe adjust added water accordingly since it won't be frozen. • Ingredients here: • Step 1: • 2 bags of green tea contents • A slice of ginger root -- potent taste warning! • A chunk of raw beet -- potent taste warning! • Carrot or 2 • Few chunks of raw sweet potato • Various greens - garden or frozen - Kale, Chard, Collards, Spinach -- I find fresh garden greens are MUCH more potent tasting so I use much less • Kiwi with skin on - whole of half • Water - about a mug - hot or cold depends on frozen ingredients and your desired consistency • BLEND TOGETHER • Step 2: • Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, dark cherries • I don't prefer strawberries here, but go for it • Beware tropical fruits that are higher in sugar and glycemic index: • Mango, pineapple, papaya etc • I DON'T recommend banana for 2 reasons: • Ripe ones are 3-4x higher in sugar and glycemic index • Mix will not keep if you want to save some. Goes bad fast • If you must, use greener banana - lower sugar • BLEND until smooth • STEP 3: • Add olive oil, coconut oil, coconut cream (any or all). If you add coconut OIL, I suggest you nuke it for 15 sec or so to make it liquid, then put in the final mix. Otherwise, it will mix with the frozen ingredients and turn into chunky bits like candle wax. • Honey - a little for allergy resistance • get LOCAL, RAW, UNFILTERED • Add protein powder OR plain greek yogurt for protein (I like Fage) • Mix on LOW for less than 10 sec • Protein makes mix get over-aerated and foamy • What I show in the video makes about 2-3 stadium cups . It will keep me full for a solid 4-6 hours or more. Of course vary the ratios to get the proper taste you like and to replenish more nutrients for working out vs. not. Amount of water you need will depend on how much fresh vs frozen ingredients. • Equipment - This Breville Hemisphere blender was tested among others as just as good as the Vitamix, which is like $500+ but this is more around $200. I got one re-manufactured from Breville for just over $100 !! • Please like, comment, and subscribe if this helps you.
