I'll let this beautiful smoothie bowl speak mostly for itself... with a dose of Hawaiian Spirulina, it's packed with phytonutrients to provide antioxidants, aid in lowering inflammation, and even help lower bad cholesterol (and SO much more- for curious minds, read here), . What you'll need:

Ingredients:
-1 medium organic banana (ripe) 
-1 dragonfruit
-1 organic kiwi
-1 large handful organic spinach
-1/3 cup organic frozen wild blueberries
-1/3 cup organic frozen pineapple
-1/3 cup organic frozen mango
-1 tablespoon almond butter
-1 tablespoon organic chia seeds
-1 teaspoon Hawaiian Spirulina (I use this one)

Directions:
  1. Cut your dragonfruit in half and scoop all contents out of one side. Freeze the scooped contents with one ripe banana.
  2. Combine frozen dragonfruit and banana with spinach, pineapple, mango, almond butter (helps keep it creamy), Hawaiian spirulina, and water (use as little as possible to keep it close to soft ice cream consistency as possible) in a food processor, blender, Nutribullet, etc.
  3. Blend until smooth.
  4. Top with fresh cut dragonfruit, kiwi, wild blueberries, and chia seeds.
  5. Enjoy!

Serves 1

Ever find yourself craving or reminiscing on old candies you used to eat as a kid? I was always a sucker for anything sweet and tangy, which is probably why I love this smoothie so much. This smoothie is boosted with beet root powder, which supplies the nutrient betaine to support your liver. Here's what you'll need.

Ingredients:
-1 medium organic banana (ripe) 
-1/2 cup frozen organic red raspberries (this adds a little bit of that tangy flavor)
-1 tablespoon organic beetroot powder (I use this one)
-1 tablespoon organic pitaya (dragonfruit) powder (I use this one)
-water to desired consistency 

Directions:
  1. Combine banana, raspberries, beetroot powder, pitaya powder, and water.
  2. Blend until very smooth (this is a little longer than usual because of the red raspberry seeds), and enjoy!

Serves 1

Tips:
-Using frozen fruit instead of ice creates a very smooth texture, however, if you only have fresh fruit, just add 1 cup of ice to this recipe.
-You can store and freeze all of the fruit ingredients together ahead of time to have a quick and easy, "just add water," meal or snack for on-the-go.

This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, grain-free, vegetarian, & vegan.
