Hi you guys, it's Laura here from www.womens-fitness-tips.com. Okay, it's early morning here, it's about
7:00 and I'm getting ready to work out so I'm not glammy, that's why I just have my
hair up and no makeup on or anything, so don't tell me that I look bad. Anyway, I'm going
to show you one of my favorite shakes in the morning before I work out and the reason that
I love this is because it's loaded with spinach and the fiber just keeps you going for a long
time because it just gives you the fullness that you need to go through your workout,
maybe run a quick errand before you get back, and some of you may not eat for several hours
after this. So I love this shake a lot of because of the spinach. So this is what's
in this, I use a frozen banana, break that up. And then I had some strawberries in the
fridge that were just ready to eat, otherwise, if you didn't have strawberries, you don't
have to add them. So I put a few strawberries, and I put the frozen banana, and then you
add two cups of baby spinach, just right out of the bag. Just dump it right in there. You
can see how full that is. I used the Ready Pac baby spinach. Okay, then really really
important is the Sunwarrior Raw Protein that I love. If you're used to really sweet protein,
you're going to have to get used to it. It's a little bit grittier. But to be honest with
you, when you put it into a smoothie I don't think you'll notice the difference. I make
it for people all the time, and they don't even know the difference. So, that's Sunwarrior
Raw Protein. And then I use raw cacao. This is just raw cacao that I buy off of Amazon.
Or you can buy it at Whole Foods or maybe Mother's if you have it. So I use a heaping
teaspoon. Remember, that's raw. It's very bitter, it's not sweet. There's no sugar in
it. And then I take a tablespoon of flaxseed, whole flaxseed meal, like a big tablespoon
or a heaping teaspoon, for fiber and Omega-3's, it's really good for you. And then for some
good fat, and because it also tastes really good in the smoothie, is coconut oil. Just
put some coconut oil in, and take like a teaspoon of that. And then, for sweetness, because
remember nothing in here is sweetened, it's all basic unsweetened ingredients, I use some
Stevia. So put your Stevia in, and for this size of a smoothie, I would use three little
scoops of Stevia in there. So that's it! That took all of 30 seconds to put combine, and
I was talking the whole time! So now I'll blend it up, and you'll see what it looks
like. And then after I started blending it, I add some ice into it to make it colder and
a little bit thicker, and then give it one more spin. So that's it. It's fast and easy.
It comes out green, like a muddy green color as you can see. It's soooooo delicious. I
promise you, it's really really good. If you do have a problem with the raw protein, and
you want to use your whey protein, that's fine, but give the raw protein a try, because
it's really healthy and it's really good for you. I'm gonna go work out now! Talk to you
later! Bye....
