šµ GREEN SMOOTHIE OF THE DAY | BULLETPROOF SMOOTHIE TO BOOST BRAINPOWER AND CURB THE APPETITE šµ
Though I still love (and need) my morning dose of coffee, many people are avoiding this overly delicious morning drink. If you are one of those people or just a green smoothie lover, then I might have found the ideal pick-me-up to start your day that isn't coffee.
Have you ever heard of MCT oil? Though you could also use coconut oil, MCT oil is more concentrated and only consist out of medium-chain triglycerides, or the healthy kind of fat that is one of the fastest sources of clean fuel for body and brain. Is MCT oil and bullet-proof coffees, or in this case a bulletproof smoothie, worth all the hype?
You will have to check this one out for yourself. All I can say, It's only 6.30 am and I am already jumping around. Full steem ahead. Last working day today. Though I feel super energized, can't wait to close the doors of our bakery after a 4th successful week.
What have you guys been up to recently?
BULLETPROOF SMOOTHIE TO BOOST BRAINPOWER AND CURB THE APPETITE šµ šµ šµ
INGREDIENTS (serves 2)
- 2 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (or parsley for the cilantro haters like my hubby)
- 1-1.5 tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
- 1 cup filtered water
- 2 cups cucumber, chopped
- 2 passion fruits
- 2 medium green apples, cored
- 2 T fresh lemon juice
- 1-2 T organic MCT Oil (or extra virgin coconut oil)
FYI: no lover of the green taste, swap parsley for more spinach for a milder green taste.
DIRECTIONS
- Blend water, parsley, and spinach until smooth. Add all other ingredients and blend again. If you have a high-speed blender you can throw everything in at once. Add more water if needed.
- Optional: Supercharge your smoothie with superfoods such as hemp hearts, chia seeds or goji berries if you like. I used hemp hearts as a topping this time.
HAPPY SUNDAY FUNDAY!!!!!!

Cilantro plus MTC oil in a smoothie? I don't know how you keep coming up with all these terrific ideas for smoothies but I love it and thank you for sharing. Wow, I can't believe it has been 4 weeks already. Amazing!!!
Hehe. Over 5 or 6 years of making greens things bring out the creativity. How are things on your side of the world?
Bulletproof is the perfect name for such a smoothie
Hehe. Still jumping around with full energy here ;)
This is pretty exciting...a new smoothie addition! I love it. I'll have to see if I can find it. I love green smoothies, this one looks so delicious. Looking forward to tomorrow's smoothie! Being on the road makes it a bit more difficult to keep up the normal morning smoothie and juice routine! Glad you'll have tomorrow off! Bakery still going well?
I hear you. I used to travel with a small blender but I gave up on it as I love to travel light. Happy travels my dear friend! All good with the bakery here. Had to close an additional day from now on as we get so many deliveries to hotels, bars, restaurants, etc. Busy but very happy with it. Though I hope we can go fully vegan after a while.... or just add my vegan sweet section to it as the baker loves his regular sweet pastries.
Yummy I love breakfast smoothies! haha mine are usually very simple, orange juice, spinach and berries, sometimes flaxseed as well, sometimes kale. :) Yours looks great. I just gave away a 1 year old passion fruit vine I was growing here in Arizona, they grow great here, but it was taking up too much space on my patio haha so I gave it to my friends who planted it. They promised to give me some fruits when they get them. haha
That's so nice. They grow like crazy here too. Happy to connect with a fellow green juice lover.
Yeah I bet they grow really well there! :)

MCT oil is new to me.... going to have to research that one, you're my smoothie hero as always lol <3 Thanks for sharing @amy-goodrich!
Hehe. Glad you like this one. You could use coconut oil too if you can not find MCT oil. Have a beautiful Sunday!
thanks for the tip <3
Never heard about MCT oil before! I have been awake since 4 am and been blogging since then;) I always start the day with my green smoothies! Never been into coffee at all;)
Hmm, I love my morning coffee. You could use normal coconut oil too. MCT is the more concentrated medium chain triglycerides. It has become a real hype so I bought a bottle to check it out. Next time I'll be adding coconut oil again. As good at making a smoothie a filling meal. And easy to find in Cambodia. MCT I brought from Europe.
That looks great and I would be happy to give it a try AFTER I have my morning coffee:)
Hehe. i hear you. Need my coffee in the morning too ;) Have a nice day!
