Low Carb Immune Health Smoothie
How to Make It
Step 1
Add frozen berries, raw spinach, hemp flour or powder, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, liquid stevia, and water to a blender or bullet blender. Blend your smoothie together, adding more water by 1 teaspoon at a time until your spinach and berries are fully blended. Before you add ice to the smoothie, give it a taste and adjust the flavors as needed. You may include more lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or liquid stevia to adjust the taste. If you are especially sensitive to the flavor of spinach, you can add a drop of vanilla extract to fool your taste buds into thinking you’re having a treat.
Step 2
After adjusting the flavor, blend ice cubes into the smoothie a few at a time until it reaches the consistency you like best. Typically, 3-4 ice cubes will give your smoothie the perfect texture. If you like smoothies that aren’t too cold, just add 2 ice cubes, or add more if you want a thick smoothie bowl. You can refer to the recipe introduction for more tips on what to add to make a smoothie bowl.
Step 3
Enjoy your smoothie in a glass or as a smoothie bowl immediately after making it. The smoothie may separate if it is left in your refrigerator for too long since the ice cubes will water it down. If you’d like an even faster preparation, you can make a large batch of smoothies, then divide the mixture amongst ice cube trays. Freeze the smoothie ice cubes, then blend a handful together straight from the freezer whenever you’re in need of an immunity boost.
Ingredients
- To Add To Your SmoothieIf you’re making this Keto smoothie recipe in the morning or after a workout, add a scoop of your favorite brand of Keto protein powder. The powder will also thicken your smoothie and you can use less ice. Add a piece of fresh celery for potassium or a sprinkle of reishi mushroom powder for its immune boosting powers. Snap an elderberry capsule open, and sprinkle the powder directly into your blender.How To Make A Smoothie BowlIf you’re making a smoothie bowl, pour the finished smoothie into the bowl you’re serving it in. Place it in your freezer for just 5 minutes to help it firm up, but you don’t want it to freeze solid. Fun Keto toppings you can include are fresh blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries. Unsweetened coconut flakes or chocolate chips can be sprinkled on top. For a little texture, sprinkle unsalted sunflower seeds over your smoothie bowl to complement the soft fruits.
