Astrological Balancing Smoothies
YUP, WE WENT there… on the tails of quarantine, we’ve tuned into our subconscious only to realize our smoothie chakra is totally out of whack. We’ve found ourselves questioning every decision we’ve ever made, and our blender has had a minor existential crisis too. To reclaim our identity, we’ve found a smoothie for every sign.
All jokes aside, astrology is an interesting way to relate to the world around us and feeds into an approach to wellness that feels personal and tastes like the universe hand picked it for you. Share this with a friend who needs help figuring out who they are again…

TAURUS| Strawberry, Basil + Avocado Smoothie
This grounded earth sign isn’t one for the complicated or outrageous, but finds deep comfort from a little luxury. Avocado creates a luscious texture that tactile Taurus will love to indulge in.

We suggest making a functional morning routine of this chai-spiced smoothie bowl to get caffeinated and well-fed all at once. If you’re a Virgo, try not to over-think the layers of flavor in chai (we know you’re tempted) – mixing it in with coconut and vanilla creates a seamless yet stimulating blend even a perfectionist will love.

CAPRICORN| Melon Beauty Elixir

AQUARIUS| Beets, Ginger + Berry
Charismatic, inventive and independent, Aquarius can’t be slowed down – so they need their smoothie to keep up! Antioxidant rich beets add a little sweetness and a lot of heart-healthy power for an air-sign always on the run. A punch of ginger helps keep things lively and clear. We love the idea of root veggies in a smoothie because Aquarius is a little rebellious like that. Make our favorite blend for this sign, inspired by a recipe from this book: 1 cooked beet, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 frozen banana, fresh ginger, coconut water, almond milk and almond butter.
PISCES| Cashew Cream Mulberry Shake
(Pictured!) Compassionate and sensitive Pisces are known for their adaptability. This creamy blend is perfectly nourishing on its own, but can also be host to other stronger flavors. Tonic herbs, pine pollen and tocos, provides vitality and much-needed nourishing balance for the ones who usually do the nourishing for others. TRY IT HERE
