Raw Newbie
I need to revamp my food choices, and thinking one of the best ways to get going in the am is a smoothie. What are your favorite high power smoothies that will keep you going for hours(I teach, finding good start in am helps a LOT!)? What fruit,nut, seed, superfood, etc do you find makes the best morning pick me up and will level out and keep energy for hours?

Goji berries, blue or blackberries, kiwi, orange, chia seed, raspberry seed, cacao nibs, lecthin and aloe vera.. 2 tablespoons of all except the berries are a quarter of a cup, the lecthin is one tablespoon and to all this I add one cup of live water… This keeps me satisfied from 6:30am until about 2pm…
I find watermelon goes a long way for me. This morning I had half a head of romaine and a lot of watermelon. Drank until I was full, was good from about 7 am until 12:30, and I have only been raw a few weeks, so I need to still eat 3-4 times per day.
Thanks :)
I have a number of superfoods(cacoa, gogi berries, chia seed) but never sure how they mix well with others in a smoothie. I have never used lecthin though, or even seen it to buy!
Stevio – I agree with watermelon and on weekends/days off it is great, but now that school is back(I teach 7th grade) I seem to need a bit more if I am to function higher.
I use 1 banana, frozen blueberries, 1 tab flax oil, 1 scoop super green type powder, 1 tab protein powder (hemp), 1 big tab cacao, i shake of maca and then for the liquid either coconut water, almond milk,water or some combination of liquids- and I also add 1 green: either kale, chard or spinach leaves
