Vital Energy Surge
Ingredients:
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup of frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 2 teaspoons of Uncle Dibbz Vital Spice Daily Blend
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon of raw, organic honey or agave nectar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder
- 1/2 cup of baby spinach (optional for an extra health kick)
Instructions:
- If using chia seeds, soak them in 3 tablespoons of water for about 5-10 minutes until they become gel-like. This is to unlock their full nutritional potential.
- While the chia seeds are soaking, peel and chop the banana.
- Add the chopped banana, frozen mixed berries, Uncle Dibbz Vital Spice, matcha green tea powder, and optional spinach to a high-powered blender.
- Pour in the almond milk and add the soaked chia seeds, along with any leftover soaking water.
- If desired, add honey or agave nectar for a touch of sweetness.
- Blend on high until smooth. Depending on your blender, this might take between 1-2 minutes. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour your energy-boosting smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and maximum nutrient absorption.
Uncle Dibbz Vital Spice gives this smoothie a wonderful flavor profile, while the matcha green tea provides a natural caffeine boost. The chia seeds are a great source of sustained energy, thanks to their mix of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Berries and banana offer natural sugars for quick energy and are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Lastly, the optional spinach adds a nearly tasteless health boost, rich in iron and other nutrients. Enjoy your natural energy kick without the wings!
