Nothing like a green smoothie to start St. Paddy’s day off right – what you drink after that is none of our business.

ingredients:
• 2 cups of spinach
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• a shake of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
*the healthy fat and protein gives the smoothie staying power
optional:
• 1 scoop Amazing Grass
• 1 scoop protein powder (I like SunWarrior vanilla or chocolate)

o’range, banana and spinach smoothie

note: steph suggests using a Vitamix based on personal preference but believes any blender will do.
ingredients:
• 1 frozen banana
• a heaping handful of spinach or kale (both delicious!)
• 2 baby cucumbers
• 1 orange (peeled)
• a handful of strawberries (frozen from the summer are my favourite!)
• 1 tablespoon E3Live BrainON
• a splash of coconut milk.
optional:
• 1 scoop of Vega powder (chocolate is my flavor of choice)
• 1 tablespoon of Omega 3-6-9 oil (keeps things lubricated)
• 1 tablespoon of liquid iron (IRONsmart is my fav)
Happy St. Patrick’s day! Perhaps we’ll see yah at yoga on Sunday.
