I call this the LivLight Signature Smoothie, because it is the base of the many variations of my daily smoothie concoction. Whether you want mint chip, mocha, peanut butter chocolate, or berry, this is your base. It is fruit-less, full of protein and fiber, has no added sugar, has tons of veggies, and tastes delicious. It makes a huge portion, but don’t be afraid to have it all. It is bulked up by the veggies and meant to be large to keep you full until lunchtime. I have been drinking a version of this almost every single morning for months and never get tired of it. It is the perfect post-workout fuel and leaves me feeling great. I hope you’ll give my Signature Smoothie a try and let me know what you think! Also, don’t forget to tag me in all of your foodie creations at @livlight_ and #livlight.
