Smoothies are a great way to start the day. I love blueberries in my smoothies. They are packed full of antioxidants, they help neutralize free radicals, which help fight off disease and aging, some studies show they help fight off belly fat and let's all just be real here, blueberries are delicious. They also really help mask the taste of the raw spinach in this smoothie. Yes, raw spinach. It is so good for you and to be honest doesn't affect the taste of this smoothie whatsoever. This drink also has coconut water in it. Coconut water is extremely hydrating and has tons of electrolytes, if you don't have coconut water, sub purified water, the point of this smoothie is to start your day with antioxidants and hydration.
In a blender combine the following
2/3 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup raw spinach
1 cored green apple
1 tbsp chia seeds
8 ounces of coconut water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
small handful of ice
Blend together until smooth and icy.
