Breakfast of Champions…My Smoothie Recipe

A while ago I mentioned in passing that AE and I like to start our days with a fruit and yogurt smoothie. Well, I still get a few emails a month asking me for the recipe. So, I thought I’d share it here.

While we eat this for breakfast, I have one friend who shares a smoothie with her son each afternoon. Any time of day, this is a big hit. And I promise your kids, or green-leery grown-ups, won’t even detect their presence.

The Cast of Characters (for two servings)

• ½ cup each frozen organic strawberries and blueberries (or your favorite fruits)
• ½ cup organic skim milk
• ½ cup organic nonfat vanilla yogurt
• 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly torn
• 1 scoop of French Vanilla Juice Plus+ Complete (or other nutritional drink mix, my Aunt uses Green Vibrance)
• 1 tablespoons flax seed oil
• ½ tablespoon cinnamon

Act One

Toss it all in the blender and press go!

Act Two

Poor it in a glass and gulp down the yummy goodness! (Choosing her straw color is one of AE’s favorite parts!)

Enjoy!
