Recipe: The Fantastic Fungi Glow-Up Smoothie

Yes, it’s vegan! This tasty, simple Glow-Up Smoothie delivers the goodness of two of our favorite Elixirs. Beauty blends Tremella and Chaga organic mushroom extracts with Horsetail and Acerola Berry to give you a glow from the inside-out.* Energy combines organic Cordyceps and Turkey Tail mushroom extracts with adaptogenic Chinese Red Ginseng and Rhodiola rosea to power your day the natural way.* 

Sip on it as a snack, or add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to give it more staying power and boost your satiety. We prefer the added depth of flavor from using salted pumpkin seeds. If you use unsalted, add a pinch of salt. 

Ingredients 

1 dropper Fantastic Fungi Beauty Elixir

1 dropper Fantastic Fungi Energy Elixir

1/2 cup frozen raspberries

1/2 medium frozen banana

1/2 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds 

1 cup non-dairy milk of choice

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. 

Why did we choose these ingredients? The maple syrup is optional, but it adds a nice sweetness. Raspberries are high in vitamin C, antioxidants and polyphenols. Strawberries would also be tasty in this smoothie. Avocado provides healthy fat that your skin will love — and it makes the smoothie perfectly creamy. An ounce of pumpkin seeds is a good source of protein and fiber. They provide all essential amino acids, so they are technically a complete protein — rare for a plant-based source! (That includes some of the amino acids found in collagen supplements, such as glycine and proline.) Feel free to sprinkle more pumpkin seeds on top for a little crunch.
