Flax Goji Apple Berry Smoothie

Even though I have lost 32 pounds, I have plateaued and am trying to get back into the swing of things. This is one of my new favourite meals and is filled with all sorts of deliciousness. I simply fill a cold-drink thermos and sip at it while multi-tasking. Great for breakfast or lunch.

Flax Goji Apple Berry Smoothie

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp Milled Flaxseed Goji Berry (I use Linwood)
  • 1/2 cup Lowfat/Nonfat Yogurt
  • 7-10 frozen strawberries
  • A handful of frozen raspberries
  • A handful of frozen blueberries 
  • 1/2 to 1 cup Apple Juice (Try for all natural, not from concentrate or light)
  • OPTIONAL : 1 scoop Psyllium Husk and 1 scoop Protein Powder

Directions:

  1. In a blender, simply drop in all your ingredients in order (Flaxseed, Optional powders, yogurt, then fruit). 
  2. You can use fresh fruit but I would still freeze them so that you get thick, cold smoothie without the watering down of adding ice cups.  The consistency will stay the same throughout with frozen fruit.
  3. Pour in enough apple juice so that all the fruit is wet and almost covered but not entirely.
  4. Blend on med/high or high until all is well combined. 
  5. Stick a straw in that ish and drink it gone :)
