LOVE Potion Smoothie






              Love Potion #9
















Yogi's are always trying to express love and be open to love in there lives. So Valentine's Day is the perfect Yogi day. And since I am a Yogini I am finding it fun to express love in my food.

A great way to start off your day is by having a nutrition packed smoothie. And this smoothie packs nothing but LOVE!


Love Potion Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 Cup Milk -your preference-- Unsweetened Almond/Unsweetened Soy/or Skim Milk
1-2 Scoops Unsweetened Protein Powder- Try to stick with Unsweetened...you don't need all that sugar in the morning--Try to get your sugar from natural resources
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Cocoa Powder
1-2 Pitted Dates or 1 Tbls of Raisins
1/4 Cup Frozen Mixed Berries

If you find you want more creaminess to your smoothie add 1/2 of a banana or 1/4 of an avocado
Don't be scared by the avocado. The taste will not overtake your smoothie. But it will provide a nice creaminess and powerful nutrients to your breakfast.

The dates/raisins and berries provide the sweetness to the smoothie, but if you find you need more sweetness, try adding 1 packet or 1-2 drops of Stevia

Blend all ingredients in a blender and then begin to receive the love baby!!
