Three weeks of vacation - pure, wonderful, indulgent vacation - has left me in somewhat of a food coma and ready for fresh, revitalizing foods. Which brings me directly to today's Blueberry Lime Cooler recipe.
Light and refreshing, I've prepared this minty drink for the last three days and have found it an ideal "get me going" drink on sluggish jet lagged mornings.
Filled with antioxidant-rich blueberries, protein and vitamin rich spinach, digestion enhancing mint and a bright squeeze of lime, this cooler is easing by post vacation blues and helping me transition to the slightly chillier end of summer mornings.
Blueberry Lime Detox Cooler
A get you back on track nutritious drink that sets your morning off in the perfect direction. Light and refreshing, it's a great way to start the day!
1 cup coconut water
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
1 handful organic spinach
1 Tbs oatmeal
1 Tbs goji berries
2-5 leaves organic mint
juice of 1 lime (more if desired)
Place all items into your blender and blend until smooth. The mint leaves usually bring quite a bit of flavor, so adjust to your taste by using more or less - we use between 3-5 leaves, I love a nice minty drink!
Add more water if smoothie it too thick.
Sounds very healthy!
ReplyDeleteKim, I wonder if you've seen that the CLBB is closing as of this week. :( I don't know how often you make it over that way anymore, but they've given through the 14th to copy any recipes you might want to keep and save. A few have created a new forum for old and new members that has real potential, and I immediately thought of you and thought you might like to know about it. Come pop in and say hi if you get a chance. http://greatfood.freeforums.net/
