Leahs Plate Smoothie 3 684x1024 - My Favorite Simple Smoothie Recipe Lately

I’m all about throwing a million superfoods into my blender, but some days I just want something quick, easy and simple with minimal ingredients. This smoothie recipe has been my go-to lately that takes under 5 minutes to make and is so delicious! It’s packed with greens, healthy fat and protein so it’ll keep you full and energized for hours!

Let’s break down the health benefits of each ingredient in this smoothie:

Blueberries are packed with fiber, potassium, folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and antioxidants. They are low in calories and high in nutrients.

Bananas contain essential nutrients such as potassium, magnesium and copper. They help to moderate blood sugar levels and may improve digestion.

Oats are known to help lower cholesterol levels and help to stabilize blood sugar. They contain manganese, selenium, fiber and zinc.

Spinach is high in niacin and zinc as well as fiber and Vitamins A, C, E and K. They are also high in iron which is essential for breastfeeding mamas like me!

Almond butter is packed with Vitamin E, magnesium and iron. It is also packed with healthy fat which is essential to our bodies.

Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blu Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blueberry zucchini almond butter shake is such a great way to get some veggies in! Thank you for this recipe @flora_and_vino 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp almond butter 
1 scoop vanilla protein (can use vegan protein or vanilla collagen).
1 cup frozen blueberries 
1 frozen zucchini (I steam it first, let it cool, then chop it & freeze it). 

Blenddddd baby! So creamy & delish!!
I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! De Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! Def a big hit w the girls!! 

First cut the crust off the bread (I used sprouted organic whole wheat) and then flatten with a rolling pin. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the bread, followed by thinly sliced banana (the banana just covering 1/4 of the bread), then roll up. Dip the entire rollup in egg & almond milk mixture (1 egg, 2 tbsp almond milk, cinnamon & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Cook on a frying pan over medium heat in coconut oil (or grass-fed butter). I heat up the frying pan a few min before placing the rollup on it. Cook for 2 - 3 min on each side. Drizzle some peanut butter on top & ENJOY! 

It’s a beautifullllll day here in South Florida, so planning to spend the rest of the day outside w the girls & Josh. Putting my phone away & being present in what’s REALLY important (which is the people you’re spending time with in REAL life), not scrolling mindlessly on social media - something I’m really working on! 🤍
