Many people complain “juice” has no protein or fiber. Since I love green juice, I wanted to share with you a yummy breakfast that satisfies the green juice craving as well as delivers a hefty serving of protein and fiber. You won’t believe that this recipe does not require a juicer or protein powder.
Earlier this year, I got tired of cleaning of my juicer and buying tons of produce that would sometimes go bad because of my laziness. And then when I actually wanted a juice and had the time, I didn’t have the veggies.
My current go to juice that I make in my BlendTech is made with 2 inches of seedless cucumber, handful of kale, 3 stalks of celery, and 1/4 cup of frozen pineapple.
The recipe above is made with the following ingredients:
- Large handful of Kale
- Large handful of Spinach
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 10 ounces of water
- 1 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tbsp Flax Seeds
- optional cinnamon and 4 ounces of apple juice or half an apple chopped
Combine in a blender with 6 ice cubes. Run it through twice or until smooth and enjoy. If you stop by Barry’s in Boston you can try it yourself with the apple juice and and cinnamon. Since I do not drink apple juice (unless it’s fresh pressed mixed with other things), I omitted it from the video recipe but most people will want the extra bit of sweetness.
Total this smoothie juice has 200 calories, 13g of protein and 15g of fiber! A great post workout drink or morning boost of essential vitamins and nutrients.
