Aloha Vibe: Wild Berry Tahini Detox Smoothie

I’ll be honest: I’ve been resistant for all kinds of green powders for a while. Why would I need them, when my freezer is stocked with kale to use for smoothies, and my pantry always has all my favorite green superfoods in it? But then I stopped by Aloha HQ in New York to shoot a fun recipe video with my friend NYCpretty.com (stay tuned!), and it changed the game.

Erin, who works at Aloha, told me that she starts her day with a packet of daily greens mixed with water. An epiphany: I don’t have to cash out $10 for a bottle of green juice every time! Cold pressed green juice is definitely an indulgence of mine that ends up being quite costly. Plus, it has to stay refrigerated, and for a gal on the go like me, that’s not always an option. So I started bringing Aloha Daily Good Greens with me to work, and mixing in a packet into a glass of water when I need a little green energy boost.

Daily Good Greens has an impressive, super clean list of organic whole food ingredients that include spirulina, spinach, wheatgrass juice, coconut water, lemon, Hawaiian sea salt, wild blueberries, king trumpet mushrooms (you won’t taste them but will get the cholesterol lowering benefits!) and my current superfood obsession, moringa (read more about this truly magical healing leaf.) The powder doesn’t have an overpowering taste and is great with water just as it is in smoothies. It’s also non-GMO, gluten-free and dairy free.

Ready to try my new favorite green powder for yourself and feel the difference? Order your Daily Good Greens and try this delicious Wild Berry Tahini Detox Smoothie. With minimal sugar (no banana in the house!), incredible amount of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and a satisfying creamy texture, this recipe might quickly become your new favorite go-to breakfast smoothie!

Wild Berry Tahini Detox Smoothie

Ingredients (makes 2 bowls)

1.5 cup coconut milk (almond or cashew milk works too)
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
1/2 cup fresh blackberries
1 packet Aloha Daily Good Greens – Berry Blend
1 scoop of plant based protein (my all time favorite is Sprout Living Vanilla Lucuma sprouted protein)
2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1/2 cup ice for a thicker texture and colder smoothie

Toppings:

Fresh blackberries, buckwheat granola for the crunch (I love Emmy’s Organics Cacao Coconut Raw buckwheat cereal), and tahini drizzle as the heavenly creamy healthy finish.

Directions:

Blend all the ingredients together. I recommend loading blender in this order: liquids, solids and powders, and then frozen ingredients. This ensures optimal texture and taste. Serve in a heart bowl – the reminder to start every day by giving yourself some nourishing, yummy love.
