Today we are talking about one of my favorite ways to get in lots of great veggies and fruits and vitamins and minerals and live enzymes and phytonutrients.  We’re talking about smoothies.  A fast food that you can pack with so many great ingredients and make it super delicious at the same time.

 

Lindsay did a full deep dive in researching the very BEST ingredients to put in a smoothie and which we think might be good, but we should actually limit or avoid completely.

 

We’re talking about the best non-dairy milk alternatives that don’t have any gums or additives in them and the cleanest collagen, protein and bone broth powders too. 

 

We’re taking about nut butters and all the seeds- chia seeds, hemp seeds and flax seeds and why you should have all of them in your pantry.

 

So, it’s all packed in here.  What Lindsay has gathered from researching lots of nutritionists findings on everything healthy smoothie related.
