Smoothies are a great way to start the day! When properly prepared like this one, smoothies can be nutrient dense and full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. This Spicy Cucumber Mint Smoothie is not only delicious, it also activates the metabolism, sustains energy levels, and stabilizes blood sugar.
Note: To activate the enzymes in the seeds and nuts in any smoothie recipe, you can soak them ahead of time. Doing so also makes them more easily digestible. Fill a bowl with enough filtered water to cover the seeds or nuts and soak for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight if time permits.
