After a long run on Sunday afternoon and a hard singles tennis match yesterday morning, I woke up this morning really feeling extra thirsty. I had my regular morning mug of hot water with the juice of half a lemon. Took the kids to school, came home and made an amazing smoothie which was so refreshing.½ cup coconut water½ cup unsweetened almond milk1 Tbsp chia seed1 handful of organic spinach1 scoop propeas protein powderLemon drop stevia drops or stevia to taste if desiredIce, as much as you wantPlace all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.Now here are some things to take note of in this smoothie:Coconut water: is one of nature's most refreshing drinks. It is composed of unique chemicals such as sugars, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, enzymes, amino acids, cytokine, and phyto-hormones.Almond milk: In my opinion is a healthier alternative to cow's milk. If homemade, it leaves an alkaline ash in the blood.Propeas: A plant-based, Non-Gmo protein powder. It has all 8 essential amino acids that are vital to support lean muscle mass that is essential to a good, healthy metabolism.
