 Hey y'all, welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I am going to be making a smoothie recipe that I have been making for the most part of Probably the last three or four years so we're gonna start with two cups of non-dairy milk and This milk is Unsweetened almond milk. I typically don't use almond milk. I Prefer unsweetened coconut milk if I don't make the milk myself But this is all I had on hand. I've got some green powder, which is here. This Green powder is absolutely fabulous The reason I like it is because it has a variety of greens in it and it has one wheat grass Which is good for great female health and it has a mushroom blend Which is very popular right now. It has herbs like tumeric ginger dandelion, which is also good for women's health and Superfruits also like Let's see. I think amla is in this. Yes, and that's good for hair growth because Amla in Afro-Betic medicine. I think that's how you say Afro-Betic medicine is used to treat hair loss It has acerule with cherries. It's got acai So this thing is loaded and it's also got a little bit of iodine in it as well And if you prefer liquid chlorophyll, this is my preferred brand. This is Bernard Jensen's. It's Concentrated chlorophyll has a little bit of mint in it to help it go down a little bit easier But then there's a flavor that is just plain which I've never had but some people swear by that one because they don't like the mint flavor The next thing for this Smoothie recipe is chia seeds and these are a special chia seeds This is about a heaping tablespoon of chia seeds But this is the one that I think is the best chia seeds on the market And I'm gonna do a separate video on this particular chia seed Brand because it has some benefits in it that are absolutely amazing Next um because I want this smoothie to be a little extra sweet. I'm gonna add two pitted deglaze deglet dates I either use deglet dates or Medjool dates, but these are the type that I had Next is cinnamon and cinnamon has all kinds of health benefits to it I probably should do a video just on cinnamon and I think I will in the future next is A mixed berry blend and this one is raspberries blueberries blackberries And blueberries wait blueberries raspberry blackberry. That's it And then I have two packed cups of mixed greens that I'm gonna put in this smoothie So this is probably for one or two people. It just depends on how hungry you are I will probably eat this between breakfast and lunch And um and usually whenever I do a big smoothie I will eat twice in the day If I if I do a like a half of like one serving of this Which is ends up being about 16 ounces. I'll usually eat three times in the day. So Just to give you a gauge, but I'm getting ready to make it and I'm gonna use my Vitamix to make it If you are looking for a blender Vitamix I'm telling you lots of people don't want to spend the money on it It's one thing if you don't have the money, but if you can sacrifice and buy a Vitamix It will save you tons of money over the long haul of buying Um blenders because before I bought the Vitamix I blew out maybe four blenders in a couple years From making food like this making smoothies like this every day So um it was just worth the investment for me I bought this one in 2010 and it's 2018 now and I have no complaints So here's for the smoothie making part. I'm gonna add the mixed greens To the blender you can use really whatever kind of greens you would like It just happened to have mixed greens on hand And plus you want to rotate your greens as much as possible so that you can get a different variety of Minerals next I am going to add the fruit mixed berries mixed berries is traditionally my favorite because they pack a punch with the antioxidants and cancer fighting and tumor busting capabilities So next I'm going to add the nut milk You can add more or less depending on how liquidy you like your smoothie and I'm going to add the dates You can leave this out if you would like this smoothie actually is sweet enough without it I'm going to add the cinnamon And now I'm going to add my special chia seeds Next is the green powder green powder actually really helps if you are struggling with low iron or anemia It packs a really heavy hit of chlorophyll, which is what you need when you're trying to build your blood So I'm just going to blend this until smooth I'm trying to focus in so that you can see it, but I don't know how much you can see But blend blend blend until smooth Then all you have to do is just serve it and eat it or drink it in this case If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up share it with a friend and don't forget to subscribe Until next time y'all much love take care
