This superfood smoothie packs a nutritional punch and is thick so it satisfies the appetite, too.
Full of fruit and nutrients, we’ve crafted a smoothie using three kinds of fruit: cherries, blueberries, and banana. Then we sneak in a superfood that complement the distinctive flavors, rendering it so thick you’ll need a spoon, if only to slow down and enjoy every drop.
Added bonus: you get a boost from the abundant anti-oxidants in this recipe!

Nutritional Notes:
The blueberries and cherries are full of antioxidants.
Green Vibrance is a green-based product made of powdered vegetables, fruit, and herbs- real food- to provide a whole host of nutrients and probiotics.
Chia and flax seeds contain high amounts of both Omega 3 and 6 from a plant source, which makes it more balanced, and trace amounts of minerals.
Nutritional yeast has a high percent of most of the B vitamins, and good amount of magnesium, both of which are highly beneficial to nervous system function.
Lecithin is a fat emulsifier and many claim its health benefits include reducing cholesterol, boosting liver function, fighting heart disease, and improving brain function, but we looked it up and the research to back these claims is inconclusive so far.
