Healthy Smoothie Recipe

One of the best ways to make sure that you age gracefully is to eat healthy meals. Those fruits and veggies are what your body craves and needs.

I have a fave smoothie that I like to drink every morning for breakfast. This smoothie uses a product called Ka'chava. I have also included an alternative smoothie if you prefer to use protein powder instead.

First up – why are smoothies so good for you? Because they are a great way to include raw fruits and veggies into your diet without even realizing that they are there!

Here are a few protein powders and blender choices for the perfect smoothie!

Ka'chava Smoothie

Ka'chava has so much more than fruits and veggies. There are 85+ superfoods. And multiple flavors. My fave is vanilla – then I add fruit for flavor.

I love the flavor of Ka'chava. I also love the convenience of 85+ superfoods added so I don't have to 🙂

This is what I do:

2 scoops of Vanilla Ka'chava
12 ounces almond milk
Whole small apple (seeds and stems)
Ice
Sometimes a handful of regular oats – for a bit more fiber

I also use strawberries when they are in season (frozen are great too

If you prefer to not go the Ka'chava route you can make your own yummy smoothie from scratch. Then you can get creative and add what you want.
