A New Super Smoothie

Today’s blog post seems like an excellent time to share a smoothie recipe I recently tried and enjoyed. I try to make a smoothie most days of the week, usually as a snack, and this typically involves tossing together bunch of ingredients in a blender that sound delicious. Rarely do I follow recipes regarding my smoothies, or cooking in general, because I consider myself an artist in the kitchen. On this occasion I surfed the web and found myself on the Blendtec website where I found a recipe calling for:

  • 6oz Water 
  • ½ Cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 ½ Cups Kale
  • 1 Cup Pineapple
  • ¾ Cup Mango
  • 1 Cup Ice
  • 1 Tbsp. Sweetener of Choice (Agave Nectar, Honey, etc.)

Besides the taste, the best part of this recipe is its simplicity. You merely add the ingredients to a blender in the order listed and blend until you reach your desired thickness. One thing to note is that the portions listed crank out two 14oz. servings. The ease of this recipe means that in about 5 minutes you can be out the door with a smoothie that delicious and nutritious.

A little about me: I've worked in pretty much every corner of the fitness industry for about 10 years. I've had the great fortune of spending most of this time working with gifted athletes at every level. I've also had the great opportunity of designing and conducting research projects, writing occasionally for various publications and blogs, competing in powerlifting, and just generally having a killer time pursuing my passions wherever they may take me. Now I own two businesses: one is an athletic performance training company that I started in 2007 at age 26 and the other is a software company startup that was launched in 2014. Paramount to all the awesomeness of my professional career, is my family. My kids are a thrill and my husband continues to be my most critical and important supporter.
