We love this vegan spinach berry smoothie and it is a healthy and nutritious way to start your day.
Some tips for making the vegan spinach berry smoothie
- The portion size - This serves our family of three, well, it is two adults and a kid. Along with this smoothie, I also serve a smaller portion of Indian breakfast or avocado toast, or on an extremely busy morning, a fried egg.
- This is a very adaptable recipe, and you can increase or decrease ingredients to suit your taste. If you use a strong blender, there is no need to chop anything. They directly go into the blender and the blender does the rest. Amp up the nutritional value by adding chia seeds (the powerhouse of nutrition) and use a sweetener of your choice. We at Framed Recipes, do not follow a vegan diet, so there are days when I use honey as sweetener, it all depends on what I have at hand.
- You can portion size the ingredients for this smoothie, and store them in the freezer. In the mornings, just blend 'em all together! Nutritious breakfast ready in minutes, with no hassle.
- Recommended coconut water: If you have read my coconut 101 post, you will know that I am not a big fan of commercially available coconut products (when you have tasted the real deal, everything else falls short). But due to convenience and lack of availability of fresh coconut water, I started using the coconut water available in tetra packs. I have tried many different brands and the closest to “fresh” coconut water that I have found here in the US are the ones from Kirkland Brand and Harvest bay coconut water.
- Sometimes, I throw in a bit of the microgreen (I use them on my avocado toast), also to amp up the nutrition.
