A Superfood Smoothie to Fuel Your Smile

June 6, 2017 By Caroline Jacobson

Superfood Smoothie

Post-sweat session smoothies and cold-pressed juices are hot. Ingredients like protein powder and fresh fruit are generally healthy, but add too much and you may be slurping down 20+ grams of sugar!

Skip the smoothie shop. Your blender is a thing of beauty. Our superfood smoothie recipe is healthy for both body and smile. The ingredient combination may seem odd, but we promise the finished product will please your palette.

Strawberry Flax Smoothie

1⁄2 cup frozen strawberries

1⁄4 cup Greek yogurt

1⁄4 cup skim or almond milk

In addition to tooth-strengthening calcium, dairy contains lactic acid. This acid helps fight decay and acts as a shield to harmful bacteria.

1⁄2 cup fresh spinach

This leafy green contains folate, a B vitamin used to create memory brain cells.

1 teaspoon flax seed

Flaxseed is rich in Omega-3 fatty acid, the most potent anti-inflammatory nutrient. Foods that reduce inflammation may protect against gum disease.

1-tablespoon protein powder

Combine all ingredients with 10, 1-second pulses. Puree until smooth—about 2 minutes.
