Today, I welcome the feel of summer with this incredibly sunny smoothie!
Recipe for today’s includes:
.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup of organic carrot juice (cheap at Trader Joe’s)
.5 of a cantaloupe, chopped
1 scoop of protein powder for energy (I used Shaklee vanilla powder)
5 ice cubes
Benefits:
- Almond Milk: naturally rich in several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E.
- Carrots: rich in vitamin A, it is good for improving eyesight and preventing conditions like night blindness from developing as we age.
- Cantaloupe: high water and electrolyte content helps ward off dehydration and combat the heat.
- Protein Powder: for vegans/vegetarians, or if you’re simply active, will benefit from an added scoop of protein to help build lean muscle mass.
