Notes
This is delicious and one of my staple smoothies. There’s a host of goodness in this green smoothie, including beneficial gut bacteria from the kefir, but one ingredient to shout about is spirulina, which is considered one of the most nutritionally whole superfoods. It’s a complete protein, packed with all the essential amino acids, and one of the richest sources of beta-carotene, with 10 times the beta-carotene of carrots per serving.
Spirulina is also rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, as well as the minerals potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron and magnesium. Thanks to these nutrients, spirulina has been shown to help the body fight infection, support cholesterol regulation and possibly aid weight loss.
Allergens: sesame seeds (in tahini)
Recipe Notes:
You can swap the spinach out for any other green, be it kale, watercress, or even foraged nettles.Tahini can be swapped for coconut oil, avocado or a cold-pressed oil like flaxseed, pumpkin seed or hemp.
CNM recommends the use of organic ingredients.
