Raw Food Blender Drink Recipes

Yesterday after my workout I had an awesome blender drink, featuring many raw foods - and even a raw vegan protein.

This was my ingredient list:

- 2 cups plain, unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop Garden of Life raw protein powder (vegan)
- 1 frozen banana
- handful of frozen spinach
- 6 big strawberries
- Athletic Greens powder
- Ground chia and flax seed

I also had an apple, some blueberries, and raw almond butter.

Awesome.

What a great - and FAST - start to the day.

The recipes are actually for "smoothies", as I know you'll like those even better than my "blender drinks".

It's amazing how healthy a 2-minute meal can be...so much faster and healthier than fast food or Starbucks.

Today's kick-start blender drink was:

- 2 cups plain, unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop Garden of Life raw protein powder (vegan)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- handful of frozen spinach
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- tablespoon cacao nibs
- teaspoon organic cinnamon
- Athletic Greens powder
- Ground chia and flax seed

I truly believe that the greens and raw foods are helping me fight off a cold (that I picked up on my travels to Panama and Cleveland where I let my nutrition and sleeping patterns slip...eating a little more sugar and drinking more alcohol than usual, while staying up 2-3 hours later than usual each night).

But as soon as I returned to Toronto and starting having 1-2 raw food-based blender drinks each day, my cold symptoms started to get better overnight.
