Yogurt Free Blueberry Energy Superfood Green Smoothie
This smoothie is filled with antioxidant power plus a variety of superfoods to keep your energy going for hours after enjoying this green smoothie.
Since all of my green smoothies have had bananas in them, this was a great experience to start to work on banana-free recipes. What I like about this recipe is that the frozen acai mix makes the smoothie have a somewhat “icee” texture while still tasting smoothie-like.
It’s important to remember that green smoothies are awesome because you can throw in whatever you have, hit blend and it will come out great. The big benefit of using bananas in smoothies is that it helps to make the smoothie have a creamy texture.
If you don’t like bananas or are allergic to the fruit, my general recommendation is to use avocado in place as both will provide the same level of creaminess in your green smoothie.
For this smoothie, I selected the following superfoods: acai (in the frozen mix), maca, and chia seeds. The chia seeds can help thicken the smoothie as well. I like the maca because I feel like it gives me an energy burst and makes me feel alive.
