Green Berry-Chia Smoothie
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the birth control pill and I’ll address those issues in my next post when I have more time. I just wanted to share my delicious recovery smoothie that I made today after running:
2 Cups water
1 Cup blueberries (I use the frozen wild blueberries from Trader Joes)
1 Cup blueberries (I use the frozen wild blueberries from Trader Joes)
1 Cup raspberries
3 Packets stevia (I love NuNaturals brand- seems to have the best flavor)
2 Tbs Chia Seeds
3 Tbs Spirulina powder
A few splashes (maybe 1/4-1/2 cup) of Coconut Milk (SoDelicious Unsweetened)
I just had never made this combination before and I really think it’s a winner. We got back late from the University of Oregon Relays Meet in Eugene and slept in, so we’re just now back from our run- a nice 11 mile loop in forest park from our front door. One of those days that just makes you appreciate all the little things…. like berry smoothies in the afternoon. Cheers!
Wow!! This sounds like a good smoothie!!! I will have to try this one!!! Sounds like you live a very exciting life!!! I would love to take up running I think about it often, but my excuse is always that I can only run about a block before I have to stop and I am afraid I will look silly!!! I wish I had someone to run with and I could slowly work up to a long run!!! Good luck!!!
Thanks Samantha. That spinach-chia-berry-stevia combination is so good that I often have a hard time switching it up!
If you want to try running you could always try just adding some minutes of jogging intervals into your walks. After a little while, you could extend the running parts a little bit more. It’s an easy way to work up to doing an actual run. Also, it’s always easier in a nice setting like going to a park with some trails. Good luck to you too.
