YUM.

This is a smoothie recipe that I originally whipped up for Tuja Wellness, a Canadian company that loves good food and encouraging people to move their bodies.

Tuja is currently hosting a free 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge throughout September with a brand new recipe every day. Get into the action here!

Today is Day 18 and this is my Apple Lime Ginger Dream Smoothie. This smoothie meets all requirements for protein + fat + fibre, which is how I like to structure my meals.

Try this out for a snack or as part of your next meal. No surprise here, but I like to pair this smoothie with a couple slices of bacon for breakfast 😉

Here’s what you’re going to need (for 2 snack sized servings):

• 1 cup spinach

• 2 inch chunk of cucumber

• 1 green apple, cored and chopped

• 1 thumb peeled ginger (run the back of a spoon over the peel)

• 1/2 cup almond milk (try my homemade version)

• 1/2 cup water

• Juice of 1 lime

*Optional, but delicious when added, ingredients:

• 1 Tblsp ground flax or chia

• 4 ice cubes

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• 1 Tblsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
