BERRIES AND GREENS SMOOTHIE🫐🥬with homemade granola✨

🫐🥬Craving a lower-sugar, nutrient-packed smoothie? Look no further! Berries are the secret to a guilt-free, naturally sweet smoothie that's perfect for any time of the day. I made some homemade granola this weekend which in my opinion is always such a treat on top of a smoothie! Do you guys like smoothie toppings or do you keep it smooth? ✨

🫐🥬THE GOODS:
- A handful of fresh kale leaves
- A handful of fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup of frozen organic raspberries
- 1/2 cup of frozen wild blueberries
- 1 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1 scoop of collagen powder
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup of vanilla unsweetened almond milk

📊🥄TRACKING YOUR NUTRITION
Before you sip away, consider taking a moment to record all "The Goods" in your smoothies You can input them into a nutrition app to get a detailed assessment of your macros, with a particular focus on protein and fiber.

🥦Fiber: Leafy greens like kale and spinach are excellent sources of fiber, which aids digestion and helps you feel full longer. Berries, like raspberries and blueberries, are also rich in fiber.

💪Protein: Your smoothie is protein-packed with additions of protein powder, chia seeds and collagen powder to name a few. Protein is essential for muscle repair and overall satiety.

🫐🥬THE RECIPE:
1. In your blender, add the kale, spinach, raspberries, and blueberries.
2. Pour in the protein powder, chia seeds, collagen powder, and almond milk.
3. Blend for about 30 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy.
4. Pour your smoothie into a glass and optionally add a topping, I love it with granola on top, or h**p seeds! Enjoy!👩‍🍳

SPINACH + FETA SALMON 🌱🐟

🌱🐟Salmon and spinach, for me, are ultimate comfort foods. I’ve crafted a dinner that marries two of my favorite flavors, and I’m convinced it’s a new star in my meal rotation. The topping makes it feel like an extra special dinner, and it can all come together in just 30 minutes. Please let me know how you guys like this one; I already can’t wait to make it again! 💙

🌱🐟 THE GOODS
🐟For the Salmon (per filet):
1 wild-caught salmon filet
1/2 tsp of EVOO
1/2 teaspoon of local honey
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon of organic garlic powder
Just a pinch of cayenne pepper (1/8 teaspoon)
half-slice of lemon

🥔On the Side:
Organic asparagus and mini potatoes
EVOO spray
Sprinkle to taste: organic garlic powder, salt, and pepper

🌱For the Topping:
2 cups of freshly chopped spinach
2-3 crushed fresh garlic cloves
Half a cup of sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
sprinkle salt and pepper to taste

🌱🐟 THE RECIPE
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and lining a baking sheet with a cooking mat or parchment paper
2. Wash and pay dry each filet and make a rub with the EVOO, honey, paprika, kosher salt, garlic powder, and just a hint of cayenne pepper. Top each salmon with a fresh lemon slice.
3. As soon as the oven is ready, add your sliced mini potatoes. Add EVOO spray and season them generously with organic garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set the timer for 25 minutes and add the salmon when you have 12 minutes remaining, followed by the asparagus, which you can top the same as the potatoes.
4. Once everything is in the oven, prepare the topping. Heat your pan on medium-low heat and add your EVOO and garlic; freshly chop your spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and add them in. Keep an eye on them and stir them each minute, and a couple minutes before the timer goes off, add the feta cheese.
5. Plate your salmon, asparagus and potatoes, and add spinach and feta topping on top. Enjoy! 👩‍🍳
