Summertime means smoothie time! Our friends at Goofy Foot Foods shared with us this AMAZING recipe for a smoothie that is sure to cool you off and start your day off right, or afternoon for that matter. Vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, this treat will satisfy your taste buds and your stomach!
Not only is this smoothie super YUM, it’s packed with nutrients to help you through your day. The top layer is made up of kiwifruit and maca powder, two ingredients that are known to help fight fatigue and give you a natural burst of energy! Maca is also packed with magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C, doesn’t get much better than that. The antioxidant rich bottom layer helps fight off inflammation and lowers blood glucose levels.
Beating the heat and nourishing yourself at the same time? I don’t see any reason not to break out the blender and enjoy this beautiful summer treat!
