Blueberry Spinach Juice






I'm really enjoying this juice combo after exercising these days.

Lots of soy milk, blueberries, and yogurt, a bit of almond butter and a huge handful of spinach.

It's pretty simple and doesn't have my usual overload of banana.

I love banana but I wanted to switch it up a bit.

Blueberry Spinach Juice

1 1/2 C Soy Milk or whatever milk you drink
1/2 C yogurt
1/2 C blueberries
pinch cinnamon
1 heaping Tbsp almond butter
large handful spinach
2-3 ice cubes (optional)

Blend.

Spinach Hummus with Apple Slices

My mother-in-law makes delicious apple-hummus wraps.

I frequently make them for myself for lunch.

Spread a wrap with hummus, top with shredded carrots, spinach and apple, then wrap it up tight.

Today I did a variation on that.

I added lots of spinach to my usual hummus recipe and used it as a dip for all the other components.

Add a apple, orange, blueberry and spinach juice and there's lunch.



Spinach Hummus with Apple and Carrot

1 796mls can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 lemon zested and juiced
1/4 C tahini
2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
pepper
2-3 large handfuls spinach
1/4-1/2 tsp cumin

Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor.


Serve with sliced apple, sliced carrots and pita chips or crackers.
