Eric Michalski loves to give sound advice . Not only will he offer his clientele top financial guidance but he will also tell them how to make a mean smoothie ! Eric , a senior advisor at Jon Baker Financial Group , has become known around the office as the “ Smooth E Advisor .”
“ It all started as a joke ,” Eric recalls . “ We were having a team meeting back in January after our company was purchased by Carson Wealth when someone brought up my smoothie-making ability . When I got back to my desk and turned on my computer , I saw a note in my Microsoft group giving me this new moniker .”
Eric says he started blending fruits and vegetables about 10 years ago after visiting with a friend in Chicago . “ He was blending all kinds of produce , and I loved the idea . It ’ s just a great , clean way to load your body with the fruits and vegetables it needs ,” he says .
His goal is to consume 5 – 7 servings of fruits and vegetables between 8 a . m .– 11 a . m . every day . “ I generally use a Nutribullet but also have a Blendtec high power blender at home ,” he says . “ Vitamix will be my next upgrade when one of my others stops working . Nutribullet is the best device to start with as it shreds everything and is affordable .”
Every weekend , Eric stocks up on fresh and frozen produce from his local Costco and blends his smoothies at the office during the week , at home on the weekends .
So , what ’ s his favorite smoothie ? It starts with a base of water ( eyeballed for measurement ), a serving each of blueberries , strawberries , pineapple , a small banana or half a large one , spinach , broccoli , and avocado . “ I might also throw in chia seeds or sometimes hemp or flax , almonds or walnuts , even Matcha ,” he says .
He also mixes in other items when they ’ re on sale or in season : fruits like blackberries , raspberries , acai , various melons , oranges , and apples ; vegetables like kale , brussels sprouts , celery , carrots , and bell peppers .
“ I say get creative and blend together the produce that you like ,” he advises . “ Or start out with my traditional blend of water , blueberries , strawberries , and pineapple , maybe throw in some spinach . It ’ s a great way to kick-start your morning and keep you satisfied all day long .”
