Spring is near and that means it is time for an inner spring cleaning. Next week I start my detox and in order to prepare, I am starting my day with a nourishing yet cleansing oatmeal breakfast smoothie.
When adding fruit to a smoothie, it is BEST with leafy greens. It helps balance the sugars in the smoothie. Also, if you want a breakfast smoothie to hold you up until lunch, you add either nuts, seeds or in this case, oatmeal. I soaked my oatmeal overnight with a little water and 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This helps to neutralize the phytic acid that can bind to very important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Soaking your oatmeal makes it easier to digest and assimilate.
I added Swiss Chard in this smoothie because it grows all year long in my garden. My daughter and I planted the seeds and my dear husband gives it tender loving care. Now we get to enjoy it’s harvest for breakfast, thanks Honey!
