Migraine Friendly Recipe Blueberry Green Smoothie

Blueberry Green Smoothie

Serves 2 / Prep time: 15 minutes

NUT-FREE	VEGAN	QUICK & EASY

Spinach is the perfect choice for your breakfast smoothie because it is packed with many nutrients such as riboflavin, which can help boost energy metabolism in the cells and brain. Many migraine sufferers have impaired energy function in these areas. You can also substitute kale, Swiss chard, or other dark leafy greens if they suit your palate better or you happen to have them in your refrigerator. If you want to use fresh blueberries, add a couple of ice cubes to create a pleasing thick texture.

Recipe:

• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
• ½ cup English cucumber, cut into chunks
• 2 cups spinach
• ½ cup water

1. In a blender, blend the blueberries, mango, cucumber, spinach, and water until thick and smooth.

2. Pour the smoothie into 2 glasses, and serve.
