    Green Smoothie - The One And A Half

    So often I go the entire day thinking I'm eating healthy; toast with avocado, almond milk coffee, tofu and tomatoes for lunch, almonds and some dried fruit for a snack, or almond yogurt with granola and lots of lemon water. By dinner I'm thinking lentils and rice with avocado; anything quick and healthy so I can play with my kids, get them bathed and in bed. By the end of the evening I realize I've gone a whole day without any hearty greens or fruit? Does this sound familiar? If so, a green drink or smoothie is the perfect solution. My Green smoothie, aka the "one and a half" smoothie is quick to make and full of greens and healthy fruit.


    I call it one and a half because you use exactly 1.5 of each ingredient. Sometimes (most of the time, let's face it) we just don't have time to sit and organize our balanced meals. Or maybe we don't have ingredients on hand. Whatever it might be that keeps you from your greens and fruits, I have the solution for you:

    A QUICK, SUPER SIMPLE. NUTRITIOUS GREEN SMOOTHIE

    + No added sugars

    + No juice

    + No dairy

    + No protein powders

    + No expensive superfoods

    +Just clean fresh spinach, bananas, cashew milk and hemlp seeds

    And it's so easy to remember - all of the ingredient amounts are "one and a half".

    This recipe is actually really great for breakfast as well. It's light and goes well with some avocado toast. You can add some matcha powder for added caffeine and antioxidants if you're making it in the morning. It's not too heavy which is nice if you want to workout right after you drink it.

    GREEN SMOOTHIE - The One And A Half RECIPE

    INGREDIENTS

    1.5 cups (85 g) baby spinach or 1.5 large handfuls

    1.5 super ripe frozen bananas

    1.5 cups (10oz) cashew milk / homemade or store bought

    1.5 tablespoon organic hemp seeds (optional but a great source of protein)

    DIRECTIONS

    Put everything into a blender and blend away on high until totally blended smooth. Voila. Super easy and a great dose of veggies.

    You don't have to drink the entire smoothie. You can share it or save it for the morning. Use it as "milk" on top of some granola.

    --> What is YOUR favorite way to get your greens and your veggies? Share below in the comments; I'd love to hear your ideas.

    --> If you make the smoothie, feel free to share on Instagram and tag me @julinovotny or #puremamas - I'd love to see your creation.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
