Liv’s Sensational Smoothie

Now that the weather is getting warmer, there’s nothing better than drinking a smoothie. Especially Liv’s Sensational Smoothie. It’s my go-to meal for breakfast these days. It’s also the perfect smooth and creamy treat to pick me up in the middle of the day. What is Liv’s Sensational Smoothie? Delicious with a capital D! Great for you too! Packed with awesome, superstar nutrients that are naturally sweet so you don’t have to add any extra sweeteners. This is the ultimate breakfast smoothie or snack that will keep you full for hours. How did this Liv’s Sensational Smoothie come into my life? Liv, @liv.arbess who is my daughter, by the way, was bored with my chocolate banana smoothie. As awesome as it is, it was time for a change. She was missing her favourite fruit, which is blueberries.

A few words about these superstar ingredients

Did you know that blueberries are an antioxidant food, helps lower your cholesterol and blood pressure? Dates are full of fiber, naturally sweet, and helps promote brain health. Bananas help regulate blood sugars, contain powerful antioxidants, and are packed with potassium. Nut butter is an excellent source of healthy fats that keep you feeling full. Protein powder is a convenient way to get your protein source. Read your ingredients carefully, as some are better than others. We love @truvani and @Niyamawellnesscanada

Taking over the blender

As Liv was beginning to take over some of the cooking in our house – YES!!! – Liv was not shy to take over our most used appliance, The @Vitamixca. With a little imagination, which she has loads of, The Sensational Liv Smoothie was born. At last – here is the recipe!

The Liv Sensational Smoothie Recipe

• 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice
• About a 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, or so
• 1/2 cup of ice
• 1/2 banana
• A scoop of vanilla protein powder

• 1 Date

Place all of these beautiful ingredients into your blender and hit start! Can you get over this stunning purple colour? Feel free to add a little of this or that – it’s your smoothie – and you know what you like. Enjoy!
