Chapter 3

BEVERAGES

+ SMOOTHIES

Perhaps more than any other chapter, this first chapter reflects the growth in my personal wellness journey since my first cookbook. First, you will see some lower-sugar smoothies here. Do I still love fruit and believe that fruit can be a healthy part of your breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Yes, yes, yes! However, I wanted to offer y’all a few sugar-conscious smoothies, which may give you more sustained energy throughout the morning and help minimize sweet cravings in the afternoon. As a result, I recreated my famous LL’s Daily Green Smoothie with avocado instead of banana, and I truly find it equally delicious. In addition to smoothies and a smoothie bowl, you’ll also see a handful of “fatty” drinks in this chapter. Don’t run from the word fatty! The healthy fats in these beverages are wonderful for your brain, hormones, and, of course, that crucial satiation factor. My Almond Chai Latte, Creamy Cashew Iced Coffee, and Crash- Free Hot Chocolate can even serve as a meal replacement if you’re not super hungry in the morning. I hope this chapter serves as a happy welcome to the second LL Balanced Cookbook.
