Loaded Smoothie Recipe

Are you trying to eat healthy and looking for an easier way to prep a meal? Is tossing and blending easy enough? If so, smoothie is your way to go! My mom’s integrative doctor, had given us a recipe for PD Power smoothie but for the life of me couldn’t find it. So here’s a rough idea of it – you’ll only need your choice of liquid, 1 (or more) kinds of fruits, green vegetable, and one type of healthy fat. Of course, you have to find the best combinations of your choice. Below are lists of liquids, fruits, vegetables, and fats i’ve tried.

Liquids (approximately 1-2 cups)

• Cow’s milk (of your preference)  – a lot of people avoid dairy due gut health issues 
• almond milk (unsweetened) 
• cashew milk (unsweetened) 
• Coconut milk (unsweetened) 
• water 

Frozen Fruits (approximately 1⁄2-2 cups)

• bananas
• strawberries 
• apple 
• mango
• peaches
• blueberries 
• grapes 
• orange 
• cucumber 
• papaya 
• pear 
• Kiwi 
• pineapple 
• Blackberries 
• Melon 
• Dragon fruit 

Vegetables (approximately 1⁄2-1 cups)

• Moringga leaves
• spinach 
• head romaine lettuce
• broccoli
• broccoli sprouts   
• romaine heart  
• kale

Fat (approximately 1⁄4-1 tbsp)

• Avocado
• Nuts
• Coconut oil 
• Olive oil 
• MCT oil 

Extras or replacements 

• Earthley Cocoa Calm powder  
• Earhtley Greens powder  
• Earthley Superfoods powder  
• Purely inspired Superfoods powder – this is the only brand/product I can find that does not contain protein and sugar. Ideal for PD patients avoiding protein when taking carbidopa-levodopa. 
• Earthley Vitamin C powder 
• Bronson Vitamin C powder 
• Earthley Electrolyte powder  
• Dr. Berg Electrolytes powder 

Banana Cocoa Smoothie

So far, this is my favorite combination, tossed and blended together!

• 1.5 cup Almond Milk
• 1 Banana
• 0.5 cup Spinach
• 1 tbsp almond nuts
