Time for some more smoothie inspiration!!
We have been wanting to make you all a recipe you can use to take advantage of all the benefits of pine bark powder without being driven away by the taste. Yes, you could make a shot, or tea, or what have you...but that is for those already dedicated to the health benefits. Pine Bark on its own is very bitter and not the most user-friendly powder we have.
This recipe totally masks the bitter taste so all you get is a super flavorful berry-licious smoothie! I served this to my husband without telling him the ingredients and he didn't even bat an eye! If that isn't the ultimate test, I don't know what is!
Well without further ado...here is our recipe! If you don't have all the ingredients feel free to swap out for other fruits, but these ones paired very well in our opinion. The extra Raspberry Powder really helped wit the flavor profile on this one!
Ingredients
1 frozen banana
1 cup frozen berries (we used a blend of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
1/2 cup frozen mango
2 tbsp nut butter
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp Nature Restore Organic Raspberry Juice Powder (optional)
1 cup spinach (optional, final product will not be as bright a purple)
Water
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a blender with enough water to make your blender work, or to achieve the consistency you like.
Blend, taste, add more berries, a splash of juice, or Raspberry powder as needed.
Once you are happy with your consistency and flavor pour into 2 large glasses, garnish with slivered almonds and more chia seeds, and share with your loved ones!
