#Summersmoothie Series: Strawberry Maple Water Smoothie

August 7, 2015

SMOOTHIE5

I teamed up with Happy Tree to bring you this strawberry maple water smoothie that is sweet, creamy and great post-exercise fuel. Maple water is only half the calories of coconut water and is rich in B vitamins and electrolytes. Happy Tree sources their water straight from the source-maple trees here on U.S. soil. I’m looking forward to enjoying this refreshing beverage as it continues to make its way into mainstream grocery stores.

NUTRITION

Strawberries: When it comes to fruit, berries are antioxidant superstars, namely strawberries. These delicate fruits should be eaten within 2 days of purchase since research shows that nutrient loss occurs thereafter. Not only are they anti-inflammatory, their polyphenols play a major role in helping regulate blood sugar.


Chia seeds: 1 ounce provides 11 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein, 18% of your RDA for calcium along with omega-3s and antioxidants.

Maple water: Maple water is rich in B vitamins and electrolytes. It is a great addition to smoothies when refueling after exercise. 

STRAWBERRY MAPLE WATER SMOOTHIE

1 cup maple water
1/4 cashews
1 tsp chia
