Although the seasons tend to dictate our food choices...why not change that up a bit and have more of a "summer diet" in the winter? I'm all for savory dishes, but if you are looking to have more energy and have a leaned out look- having more plant based foods incorporated in your diet are definitely going to help you achieve that.
I notice such a shift in my energy and overall mood when I have something that is light and fresh and full of antioxidants and superfood goodness. Not to mention since incorporating more greens in my diet, I've noticed much less bloating, which I'm not going to complain about that one bit!
So I'm making smoothie bowls and smoothies for my snacks most days and it has been super fun! Plus I start of my day with a superfood meal replacement shake. I have a few go-to recipes for that, but every other day I bounce back between the same 3 recipes that I love. Variety is the spice of life!
I loved this green smoothie that I made yesterday- isn't it gorgeous!? I mean talk about instant mood booster! I added just a 1/2 cup of spinach. It's a great way to sneak in greens...and you can't even taste it them :)
So here is the recipe for you all to enjoy! Let me know how you like it!
