Smoothies
Green Veggie Smoothie
Be sure to choose fresh, ripe ingredients and wash them well before using. Whenever possible, choose organic!
Ingredients:
-
1 large kale leave
-
1 rainbow chard leaf with stem
-
1/2 large carrot
-
1/2 large avocado, peel and pit removed
-
1 celery stalks
-
1/4 lemon, peeled
-
1/4 cup of frozen blueberries
-
1 parsley sprig
-
1 scoop of hydrolyzed collagen powder (10 grams of protein)
-
Cold water, to your liking, and ice if desired
Blend it up for a tasty and nutrient dense treat!
Kale Smoothie​
1 scoop of hydrolyzed collagen powder (10 grams of protein)
-
1 Kale leave, chopped
-
½ Avocado
-
Avocados contain: Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Potassium, Folate, Dietary Fiber, B6 and Copper!
-
1/4 lemon (juice)
-
Lemons are such a fantastic source of vitamin C. They also help absorb the iron found in other foods, like kale!
-
Water to desired thickness: Add crushed ice if you wish
Blend it up for a tasty and nutrient dense treat!
​Into blender place:
​1 cup liquid
water; almond milk, hemp milk,
diluted 100% juice (i.e., 1/4 c. juice + 3/4 c. water)
1-2 scoop protein powder
(aim for 10-20 grams protein)
Collagen, whey, or plant based
1/2 - 1 cup no-sugar-added
fresh or frozen fruit
If using fresh fruit, add ice cubes to make it slushy. Berries are best for the anti-oxidant benefit and small amounts of peaches or mangos mixed in can add flavor and variety
1 Tbs. ground or milled
flax seed or flax oil
1 Tbs. nut butter, optional
almond, cashew or sunflower seed butter to provide quality fat
Blend thoroughly; serve immediately.
​
Serves 1
​
May be frozen and eaten later but is best tasting fresh from the blender.
*Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Soups:
Creamy Avocado Soup
Vegetarian VeganSide DishEntree
​
This no-frills recipe is creamy, dreamy, and easy to make. Soups aren’t just for winter; they are a great dish to prepare on a hot summer day when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen. We are putting a twist on avocados and soups with this one. This soup can also double as a sauce or dip if you replace the almond milk with any type of approved KetoFLEX 12/3 yogurt.
​
To enjoy hot, replace the cucumbers with broccoli. Sauté the vegetables in ghee or avocado oil. Replace the almond milk and water with hot bone broth.
​
I highly recommend a Vitamix blender.

Fall Cauliflower Soup
Vegetarian Vegan
​
This flavorful cauliflower recipe is an easy and delicious fall favorite. Not only is this soup comforting, but it is also deeply nourishing. The stars in this soup are turmeric and cauliflower.

Serve this soup as the main course or as a side dish on a chilly night and enjoy!
