A wholesome and nutritious blend packed with essential minerals for your well-being. Start with a base of unsweetened coconut milk, a choice of almond or cashew butter, or even half an avocado if you prefer full-fat canned milk. These ingredients provide a creamy and nutrient-rich foundation.
Enhance the flavor profile with a hint of cinnamon and a dash of pink salt, adding depth and a touch of seasoning to the smoothie. For a natural sweetness and a boost of essential minerals, include half a banana or 1/3 cup of any tropical fruit like mango, pineapple, melon, or cherries.
To up the protein content, add a serving of vanilla protein and a generous half cup of cottage cheese. This combination provides the essential amino acids and nutrients your body needs. For a mineral-rich kick, incorporate one to two cups of fresh or frozen spinach, which is a great source of minerals like iron and magnesium. To keep it cool and refreshing, add a cup of ice, creating a delightful texture and temperature for your smoothie.
Blend all these ingredients together, and you'll have a Mineral-Loaded Smoothie that's both delicious and packed with essential minerals. Enjoy the benefits of this nutritious and flavorful blend!

Notes: This is full of potassium and magnesium but tastes like a treat. Perfect if in a season of higher stress or pregnant/nursing to promote more milk and balance our hormones. Our magnesium is depleted from stress and most aren’t eating as many potassium-rich foods (white potatoes, tropical fruits, & bananas) as they used to. Both are essential minerals for a healthy body. I love electrolyte drops and supplements especially if practicing intermittent fasting or a lower carb lifestyle but this is a way to get them from whole foods which is always the goal, to get most of our nutrition from our food sources when we can.
