  • Kitchen Witchery: Simple Banana Berry Smoothie for Success

    kitchen witch, vegan witch, vegan smoothie, banana berry smoothie, holistic nutrition, cottage witch

    What’s better than a smoothie in the morning to give your body just what it needs to wake up and get going? This Banana Berry Smoothie for Success is the perfect addition to your morning smoothie rotation to help get your day off to a magically delicious start. 

    Spring is the perfect time to jump into some new goals with motivated and focused energy. This smoothie is here for you! Packed with vitamins and energetic properties for success, perseverance, energy, and luck, it’s sure to become one of your favourites. 

    So let’s get into some of the benefits this smoothie contains, both nutritional and magical.

    Banana Berry Smoothie: The Health Benefits

    These ingredients are super simple and jam packed with nutrition.

    Berries (fresh or frozen)

    • Rich in Anti-oxidants
    • Improve insulin response
    • Lots of Fibre
    • Fight inflammation
    • Great source of Vitamin C
    • Skin health
    • May lower cholesterol

    Banana

    • Nutrient rich
    • Source of Anti-oxidants
    • Excellent source of fibre
    • Improves digestion
    • Contains multiple vitamins and minerals

    Almond Butter (all natural and no added oils)

    • Vitamin E
    • Calcium
    • Healthy Fats
    • Protein
    • Fibre
    • Phosphorous

    Ceylon Cinnamon (known as ‘true cinnamon’ and packs the most health benefits)

    • Another amazing source of anti-oxidants
    • Anti-inflammatory
    • Lowers blood sugar
    • Heart healthy
    • Has anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties

    Whole Rolled Oats

    • Omega 3 Fatty Acids
    • Protein
    • Fibre
    • Anti-oxidant properties
    • Keeps you satiated

    Spinach (fresh)

    • Vitamins A, C, & K
    • Folate (B9)
    • Iron
    • Anti-oxidants
    • Calcium
    • Heart healthy

    Vegan Protein Powder

    • Being vegan, I like to get this extra protein boost into my day.
    • I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder or Form.  They are both delicious and with no funky additives.
    • Be wary with protein powders as a lot of them have ingredient lists as long as your arm. Try to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
    • Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes only unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless lol.

    Smoothie Notes

    1. I don’t use any additional sweetener. However, you can add a medjool date, maple syrup, agave, or date syrup if you’d like it on the sweeter side. 
    2. People have varied tastes when it comes to smoothies in regards to how thick they like them. This recipe is exactly how I make mine. Feel free to add more, or less, liquid/ice to get your desired thickness.
    3. Different protein powders WILL change the taste. The Vanilla Genuine Health one that I use is the absolute best tasting I have found, EVER. And by a lot. You can also omit the protein powder entirely. Maybe add a little vanilla extract or kefir to the mix if you omit the powder.

    4. Now add your butter into the dry ingredients and blend together either with a spatula or electric hand mixture. Mixture should be crumbly.
    5. Now add in all of your wet ingredients saving the flax egg for last.
    6. Pour your batter into your loaf pan and bake for 50 – 60 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when finished.
    7. Allow to cool fully before removing from pan and slicing. Trying to remove too soon will have the cake turn into a crumbly mess lol.
    8. Prior to eating you may state the following:

    “Lavender and lemon, gifts from the earth, bring me joy and cleansed energy as we enter into this brand new season.”

    Enjoy with some tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon snack.

    To Prepare the Lavender Sugar

    Making lavender sugar is super simple. If you just want to make enough for this recipe then simply combine your one cup of sugar with the 2 – 3 teaspoons of lavender buds into a mortar and blend with a pestle for a couple of minutes to release the lavender oils into the sugar. You can also make more as well to have some on hand for your next lavender recipe.

    Lavender can be a strong flavour so you really don’t need to add in too much. If it’s your first time making this I would start with 2 teaspoons of the lavender buds to see how you like it and you can add more next time if you prefer a stronger flavour.

    If you don’t have a mortar and pestle you can also just add the ingredients to a bowl and blend together with the back of a spoon.
