Blueberry Spinach Smoothie

Blueberry smoothie with spinach

For this latest attempt at a smoothie, I felt adventurous.  I wanted to add some very beneficial ingredients.  I've been dealing with inflammation so I knew I wanted to add ginger and turmeric, in powdered form.  I also added some sweet flavors, including Sweet Leaf Stevia and cinnamon.  I added my trustworthy blueberries and cranberries, which are rich in antioxidants.

Ingredients pictured here are for the blueberry spinach smoothie.

I decided to add spinach, ground flaxseed, coconut shavings, parsley, some strawberry & banana yogurt, water, and powdered grape seed complex.  ( I added a teaspoon of coconut oil, too, which is not pictured here.)  The result was a soupy concentration, but I still drank it.  I needed to eat drink something good for me.  I knew that I could now find the ingredients I desired since I had cleaned and organized my refrigerator and freezer.  I wanted to reward myself and be good to myself for all the hard work I had done in the weekdays.

Well, I hope you liked my new version of a blueberry smoothie.

Thanks for reading this short blog entry.  In the future, I hope to make another type of smoothie.  Stay tuned!

 
How about you, my readers?  Have you made a fruit smoothie lately?  Why or why not?  I encourage you to add unusual ingredients; you can always mask the bitter taste with cinnamon and stevia.
