Day 2 of the Smoothie Glow-Up and we are showing UP! 🙌 I loved seeing all your Day 1 photos. Keep them coming today! There is something so energizing about seeing this community actually doing the thing together. Today's recipe is one of my all-time favorites, and the color alone is worth making it: 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗘 • 1 cup frozen mixed berries • 1 frozen banana • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed • Optional: handful of spinach or kale Mixed berries are one of the most antioxidant-dense foods on the planet, which means this smoothie is actively fighting inflammation with every sip. Blend it up, snap your photo, and post it with "Day 2 ✅" We're almost halfway there! How are you feeling so far? Tell me in the comments! 👇

After years of making smoothies every single morning, here's what I've learned: 1. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁. I personally like mine on the thinner side so they're easy to drink, more like a juice than a thick shake. If a recipe calls for one cup of liquid, just add more water until it feels right for you. There are no rules here. 2. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆. My real everyday smoothie is honestly just a big handful of greens, water, ground flaxseed, and whatever fruit I have around, usually berries. Sometimes I add protein powder. That's it. The reason I gave you several different recipes this week is to get a variety of nutrients into your body, but on a normal Tuesday I'm not making anything fancy and that's completely fine. 3. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲. This is the one that makes the biggest difference. If you blend your smoothie the night before and put it in the fridge, you're not scrambling in the morning. It takes the friction away completely. Just shake or stir it in the morning and you're good to go. 4. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. I actually prefer my smoothies at room temperature, and if you make yours the night before, here's a trick: add some hot water in the morning to bring it back up to room temp. This also helps with the thickness because smoothies do thicken up quite a bit overnight in the fridge, so you'll want to add some water anyway. Let us know if you have any tips that work for you! Keep going. You're doing great!
