Notes
- You can make an extra smoothie for the following day. Though the storage will alter the aspect and flavor of this smoothie.
- I used almond butter in this smoothie, but sometimes I use peanut butter or tahini. Use a nut butter of your choice as long as it doesn't have sugar or food additives.
- The idea of this superfood smoothie is to have various plants in a single meal to feed your gut microbiome and your cells, using small quantities.
