We have all heard of an energizing green smoothie recipe to help motivate us on those early work mornings, where we seem to be balancing more activities than we have fingers and toes for. This smoothie recipe is one-of-a-kind, and requires minimal ingredients for maximum energy and good vibes.

It is important to make use of all the resources at your disposal, which is why my green smoothie consists of six simple ingredients, of which most can be consumed on their own and used in many other drink preparations. Starting with a ¾ cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, half a banana, and half a green apple, the sweet and creamy flavors are

already releasing a comforting aroma to get you moving on your feet for the day. Everyone has a sweet tooth, but also the desire to be healthy, which is why these naturally sweetened fruits are great ingredients for this smoothie.

It is advised to follow these ingredients with a handful of spinach. However, kale is another alternative for our kale lovers, as both kale and spinach are common power foods in green smoothies to give you natural energy in the morning. The kale and spinach ingredient is

followed by a ⅓ cup or 4 medium slices of cucumber, as well as a tablespoon of hemp seeds.

Smoothies go beyond flavor and health. Green power smoothies are an important part of the lifestyle of many people, and it is important to share these recipes with family, friends, and partners. This is why “Collectively Joy” encourages the creation of new recipes and substitutions that contribute to the unique community of smoothie enthusiasts.

A healthy lifestyle means to be conscious of your food choices, but to also value the quality of life over the quantity of specialty products consumed. This is an important point, because many people have fears of falling out of their routines of drinking their smoothie in the morning. It

is important to follow the ritual as often as possible, but to also accept that life comes with its obstacles, and to know that we are doing our best to stay consistent.

With that being said, it is also important that our smoothies consist of foods that we would eat solo, to ensure a desirable taste that makes us want to look forward to drinking our smoothies in the morning.

Last but not least, it is important to share our experiences and goals with the people in our lives, in order to give back to our communities and to spread the purpose of health and well-being with everyone in our Environment.
