I LOVE starting my day off with a smoothie. I’m usually not in the mood for a large meal first thing, but after hearing “eat breakfast” a million and a half times, I figure it must be pretty important!!
DISCLAIMER – this smoothie is BROWNish or mud-colored, but don’t be alarmed!… When it comes to smoothies, I’m like a kid with a crayon box. I just want to use ALL the colors! Therefore, a brown-colored fruit smoothie with a “Smorgasford” of ingredients is what we have here. I hope you like it as much as I do!
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 bananas (small)
1 cup strawberries
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup frozen mangos
2 cups of spinach leaves
1-2 tbs. peanut or almond butter
1 cup Orange juice
1 cup Carrot juice
2 tbs Flax seeds
2 tsp honey
Cinnamon
Blend all the fruit and juices in a blender.
(This is proof that underneath it’s resulting muddy color, it’s pretty like the rest of it’s smoothie brethren. 🙂
Add peanut butter & blend.
Add spinach & blend.
TIP #1: I typically will just fill up the rest of the blender with as much spinach as possible. It really doesn’t take away from the flavor, and it’s full of nutrients. So go ahead! Pile on that spinach!!
TIP #2: Use a utensil to push the leaves to the bottom of the blender.
Lastly blend in flax seeds, honey & cinnamon.
