This morning, I was going to make my regular smoothie and realized I was out of spinach, so I decided to try one using a zucchini, which my garden is producing very prolifically right now! The result was a rich and creamy milkshake that really only has 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds! I am trying to cut back fats...

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
l large zucchini (peeled and chopped)
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon mesquite powder
1 tablespoon lucuma powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dates or sweetener of choice (I think raisins would even be good)

Recipe Directions

1. Throw everything in the blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little more water depending on your zucchini (The ones from my garden have a higher water content than the ones I buy at the store.).

2. Once it's smooth, add some ice and blend a little more.

I am trying to cut back fats and sugars for the summer.

Also, after searching high and low I finally found alcohol-free vanilla on the cook's vanilla website.

I think this would make a good base smoothie for adding maca, spirulina, msm, coconut oil, etc.
