Amazing Blender Drinks
Let’s start with the rules of the road…
Rules
1. My favorite blender drinks have 3 fruits…and generally I recommend 1 frozen, a
banana, and at least one berry)
2. Every blender drink “needs” one greens ingredient (spinach is your safest)
3. Add one nut butter (peanut butter for safety, cashew butter, or almond butter)
4. Throw in another healthy fat source (such as flax meal, flax oil, or walnuts)
5. Instead of regular milk, use almond milk (lower calories, but less protein) – you can
try hemp milk, but it tastes like dirt
6. To thicken the shake, you can add oatmeal, flax meal, applesauce, or ice
7. To energize your shake (i.e. caffeine), try adding cacao nibs or cacao powder
8. Build your blender drink base with 3 fruits, 1 green ingredient, a nut butter, and then
consider being adventurous with cacao nibs, cacao powder, sunflower seeds,
almonds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, & other ingredients and options
you’ll discover below
9. I have almost every blender drink in the morning with a toasted raw almond butter
sandwich on flax meal bread
10. Always be prepared! Make a list, stock your fridge, & enjoy!
Here’s a list of all the ingredients you might consider buying for your blender drinks:
Fruits
• Apples – I don’t use apples a lot, but they can work
• Bananas – Almost mandatory
• Raspberries- My favorite fruit…allows you to mask a lot of other ingredients
• Blueberries – Always turns your drinks purple…be careful
• Strawberries - Classic
• Blackberries – Not my favorite…turns the drinks dark without much flavor
• Pineapple – Leaves a strong acidic taste…its okay
• Mango – Not my favorite
• Watermelon – Once in a while I use it, but not often
• Oranges – Ditto
• Dates – A real interesting addition – try recipe #6 – Awesome!
• Avocado – Makes a drink smooth
Greens
• Baby spinach – The easy, tasteless go-to
• Kale – much more adventurous than spinach…be careful!
• Broccoli – not bad…but you need a high powered blender to blend it
• Celery – surprising “kick” from this…you can’t hide celery in a blender drink
• Cucumber – I’m not a huge fan…so I won’t be using it too much
