Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie

Smoothie pro tips for a happy gut:

• Sit down, take 3 breaths before consuming

• Eat with a spoon

• CHEW your smoothie (add toppings to help)

• Limit to single digits worth of ingredients; aka 9 or < (simple is better!)

• Use soaked nuts/seeds (soak em in a jar of water overnight and then strain) to enhance digestibility

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Recipe:

Makes 1 Smoothie

What you need:

• 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein (grab the brands of bone broth and beef protein powders I recommend & like here)*

• 1 overflowing cup frozen organic strawberries

• 2 T raw cacao nibs

• 1/3 cup full fat canned coconut milk

• 1 cup filtered water

• 1/2 cup frozen organic riced cauliflower

• 1T chia seeds (I like to use pre-soaked for optimal digestion)

• 1 date**

• optional: 1/2 packet chocolate LMNT (if adding this, go for pure/unflavored protein)

How you do it:

1. Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender

2. Add more water as needed until reaching desired consistency if you like a thinner smoothie

3. Top with toppings of choice and enjoy with a spoon!

*for vegetarians - I recommend using a goat whey protein; for vegans I recommend Truvani

**soak for 3-4 mins in hot water to soften
