Blend Your Fuel: Green Smoothie Guide + Oster MyBlend Giveaway!

This goes out to everyone who cringes at the sight of my green smoothies. It’s time the whole world drinks them!

I’ve been blending vegetables into my fruits way before it became a trend and I’ve always been thrown disgusted looks when  I drink them in front of others. These days I’ve been getting less of that and more of questioning looks as to how tedious the process of preparing them could be.

Most people get completely overwhelmed by the endless possibilities in making these green monsters. Which is why I came up with an easy go-to guide for everyone who barely has time to prepare what could be the easiest and quickest form of fuel. Great for pre and post workout meals if you don’t feel like eating anything heavy!

If you’re wondering why you only need frozen bananas for the base, this is because these make the smoothies’ texture very creamy, rather than icy or watered-down. Plus, bananas are an awesome source of potassium and carbs which makes smoothies good enough to replace a meal. 😉

MEASURING THE INGREDIENTS

Seriously, there’s no exact science to it. But here’s a good estimate:

1. At least 5 frozen bananas for every liter
2. A handful of greens
3. Half a handful of fruits
4. Half a handful of vegetables or roots
5. Half a teaspoon of Spirulina or Maca and a TBSP of Chia and Malunggay
6. Liquid: Pour in enough to help your blender’s blade process the ingredients

And check it, I’ve posted a short video on Instagram on how to make the most basic pre-workout smoothie! Follow me there if you haven’t for more stuff like that. (@nkitorres)

I used the Oster MyBlend Personal Blender to make my smoothie and it’s perfect for when I’m in a rush. One tumbler is perfect for one serving of green smoothie. Cut down the measurements into about 1/4 or just see how much you can fit in!
