Gluten-Free Vegan Raspberry Kiwi Protein Smoothie
Since the month of April is "Maximum Vibrance" month at Vibrant Health, the smoothie I made for my Superfood Smoothie Series this week included "Maximum Vibrance".
I didn't get really crazy with the superfoods on this one and kept it simple just in case you haven't given Maximum Vibrance a try yet.
All I added was some organic fruit and a natural sweeter (Medjool dates).
As I've mentioned in my other Superfood Smoothie Series posts, I am a long-time fan of Vibrant Health products.
I have been a loyal "Green Vibrance" user for several years but was just recently introduced to "Maximum Vibrance" and it has quickly become my favorite.
While I rotate their products around in my daily smoothies, "Maximum Vibrance" has risen to the top for reasons listed in its name - MAXIMUM, meaning...it just can't get any better than this.
Here are some of the benefits:
- 25 billion probiotics
- contains 23 g vegan protein (46% DV)
- 26 antioxidants
- contains 6 g of fiber(24% DV)
In addition, it also contains over 120 ingredients which include protein components, concentrated plant nutrition, vitamin & mineral concentrates, sea vegetable complex (including iodine + trace minerals), cell membrane and nerve support, high fiber foods + prebiotics, antioxidant powerplants for healthy circulation, vision, skin, joints, liver function and more, adaptogens, immune support, probiotic blend (dairy-free), enzyme complex, skeletal support, and tonics.
Here's a product flyer with more detailed information and ingredient breakdown.
I use "Maximum Vibrance" on days when I know I need a little something extra, days when I do a liquid-only fast or when I know I won't be able to eat everything I should in a day.
Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Raspberry Kiwi Smoothie
Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Almond Milk.
Raspberries. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries. I used frozen but if you used fresh, you may want to add a couple of ice cubes to thicken the smoothie and make it frosty.
Maximum Vibrance. The smoothie will have a "green" color to it because the color of the Maximum Vibrance is green due to the healthy green ingredients in it.
Medical Medium. Omit the protein powder to keep this recipe 100% Medical Medium compliant.
Serving Size. This recipe will make (1) large smoothie or (2) smaller smoothies.
