Basic Green Thickie Recipe

There are 6 basic ingredients in a green thickie:

Liquids (water, milk or juice)

Greens (Spinach, Chard, Collard Greens, Lettuce, Kale or other mild greens) OR if you run out of fresh greens, add 2 scoops of Amazing Green Powder for an extra healthy green boost.

Fruit (Add any fruit you like, you don’t have to worry about adding creamy fruit as the oats provide the creaminess)

Carbs (Oats, Quinoa, Buckwheat, Sweet Potato)

Seeds or nuts (Any plain seeds or nuts can be added)

Sweetener (If it needs it add in some healthy sweetener.  I prefer to use whole foods so mostly use dates/ date paste)
