Hey there, smoothie enthusiasts! Happy National Meal Prep Day! 🎉

If you're on the hunt for a delicious way to kickstart your mornings, I’ve got just the surprise for you—a mouthwatering Blackberry Breakfast Smoothie that's as nutritious as it is tasty.

This smoothie is Day 5 of our "7 Smoothie Recipes for Every Day of the Week" free e-book, and it's packed with ingredients that will nourish your microbiome, boost your brainpower, and keep you energized throughout the day. Let's dive into the details and get you blending!

Here’s what you'll need to create this delightful smoothie:

• ½ cup blackberries: These little berries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. They support brain health and can help improve cognitive function.

• 1 cup spinach: A powerhouse of nutrients, spinach is rich in iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. It’s excellent for your overall health and helps keep your skin glowing.

• 2 stalks of celery: Celery is not only hydrating but also full of essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. It helps reduce inflammation and supports digestive health.

• ½ cup cashew milk: This creamy, dairy-free alternative is a great source of healthy fats and provides a subtle nutty flavor that enhances the smoothie’s taste.

• A few cubes of ice: To give your smoothie that refreshing, chilled texture.

• 1 scoop Vanilla Nourish I Plant Protein Powder: Our star ingredient, Vanilla Nourish Plant Protein, adds a delicious vanilla flavor while providing essential amino acids to support muscle health and recovery.

Ready to turn these powerhouse ingredients into a delicious, microbiome-nourishing, brain-boosting smoothie? Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the blackberries, spinach, and celery thoroughly. Cut the celery into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

2. Blend Until Smooth: Add all the ingredients—blackberries, spinach, celery, cashew milk, ice cubes, and a scoop of Vanilla Nourish Plant Protein—into your blender. Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more cashew milk to reach your desired consistency.

3. Serve and Enjoy : Pour your smoothie into a glass, grab a straw, and enjoy the refreshing taste of health and vitality!
