KJ's Life Experiment - 308 - Green Smoothie With New Blendtec
Guess what I got for Christmas? A new Blendtec! I've been dreaming of this blender for over a year, and now it is sitting in my kitchen:-) In this video, I show you a typical KJ Green Smoothie recipe that you'll see starting most of my days, and make it in the new Blendtec, just to show off a little.
Ingredients I used:
Kale
Spinach
Almond Milk (unsweetened)
1/2 frozen banana
1/4 cup frozen mix berries
Maca
Cacao
Coconut Oil
...and a few carrots (leon likes carrots in his smoothie)
Was out of hemp hearts, and probably should have added in some spirulina (can never have too many micronutrients!)
Enjoy!

Nice! I've got to get more creative with my smoothies. I have one pretty much every morning, but have gotten into a rut of making really simple ones: spinach, banana, almond milk, and a dollop of peanut or almond butter. Sometimes dash of cinnamon. I've got to start adding more fun superfoods!
Maca is my newest experiment -- you should look into it...it is great for women especially and hormonal stuff (but I'd have to confirm if it is okay to consume for women who are preggers). Only issue - it can be expensive. Also look into playing with spirulina or chlorella...pretty much every cell of your body will thank you:-)
Awesome! Your life will never be the same :) What a great Christmas gift!!
An aside, I would definitely not do maca while pregnant. While it's said that Peruvians consume lots and lots of maca while pregnant, it is still a big unknown overall and is highly recommended against.
