Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free

If you’ve been here for a while, you probably know that I LOVE smoothies. I literally have them for breakfast every day! But, for some reason, I haven’t really shared many smoothie recipes on here. If you follow me on Instagram, you see the Peanut Butter & Berry Smoothie in my stories ALL the time, and it’s because I legit have it almost every day.

Smoothies are fruit or veggie shakes to which an infinite variety of ingredients can be added. With the right combo, you can make a super energetic and restorative mix!

Today’s smoothie is nutritious and delicious, thanks to the great contribution of vitamins and minerals that blueberries, blackberries, and bananas have. In addition, not only does this smoothie tastes amazing, but can also aid with skin thanks to the antioxidants that protect you from external aging agents, as well as providing anti-inflammatories and polyphenols, which may help prevent neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes.

On another hand, this can be a protein-packed smoothie thanks to the amazing Four Sigmatic Peanut Butter Protein Powder, which I love using as an extra nutritional boost.

Feel free to truly make this smoothie your own! Here are a few extra ingredients suggestions for this Peanut Butter & Berry Smoothie:

• Cacao Powder
• Almond Butter
• Chia Seeds
• Acaí
• Coconut Yogurt
• Oats
• Dates
• Coconut water

Nothing better than something fresh and green to welcome you to summer.

Spinach is one of those greens that grows really fast and, depending on where you live, grows all-year round. So, we have a lot of homegrown spinach that I don’t want to go bad, hence this quick spinach pesto recipe. 

You can use this recipe for pasta, as a dip or a spread.

Recipe: Vegan Spinach Pesto

Yields: 1 cup

Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup fresh basil
• ½ cup olive oil (+ more if desired)
• 1 cup walnuts
• 2 cloves of garlic
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: 1tbsp lemon juice

Procedure:

1. To a food processor, add spinach, basil, walnuts, nutritional yeast, garlic and lemon juice in the processor. Process to break up the spinach, and gradually add the olive oil until it is well mixed and all is well incorporated. ENJOY!

Notes:

• Feel free to switch it up, by changing the walnuts for any other nut like pine nuts, almonds, cashews.
• Enhance this recipe by adding ¼ cup of vegan parmesan cheese. 
• I tend to add very little oil to big batches of pesto; it depends on what I’m using the pesto for. Feel free to add the amount of oil you prefer. 

Here are my other quick recipes:

• Vegan Mayo-Ketchup
• Easy Pizza Dough
