Green Girl
Goodies, August 2012
I am almost
done with my 10 day cleanse and feel great! I lost just over 3 pounds and have more energy than ever. In order to more closely monitor my nutrient
intake and make sure I stayed safe and healthy while doing the cleanse, I began
tracking some of the basic nutrition information for my smoothies. In this post and all future “Sunday Smoothies” look for your basic nutrition information
following the recipe!
Yield 1
large 24 oz serving or 2 small 12 oz servings
½ block
Tofu, preferably Mori-Nu Silken Tofu “Firm”
1 c Mixed
Berries, frozen
1 c Spinach, tightly packed
1 ½ c
Cranberry Pomegranate Juice
1 tb Agave
1 tb Chia
Seed
- Place the
berries, spinach and juice into the blender.
- Add the
Agave, trying to pour mostly in the middle so it doesn’t stick to the sides of
the blender.
- Use your
hands to break up the tofu as you place it into the blender.
- Blend,
scraping the sides occasionally to make sure ingredients blend evenly.
- I tried
something different this time and poured the chia seeds into the cup first,
then added the smoothie. I didn’t find
this to make much of a difference but wanted to test just in case :)
- Stir and
enjoy!
