berry blast smoothie

We have been making breakfast smoothies a lot lately. The boys love helping...cutting bananas, adding veggies into the juicer, stuffing the blender. And of course they just taste great! We are on the last bag of frozen strawberries from our U-Pick last summer...almost made it to April!


ingredients:: juiced
2 carrots
2 stalks celery
2 apples (peeled)
2 mandarins (peeled)

ingredients:: blender
1 banana (peeled/sliced)
1 cup yogurt
juice from above
1/2 cup frozen peaches
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
small handful of frozen strawberries


directions::
Juice everything in the first list in a juicer. In the blender add the banana and yogurt at the bottom, pour in the juice, add the frozen fruit, and then whiz until smooth. I added berry blast microgreens powder and a drizzle of flax seed oil in this too - extra good!



ingredients tip::
Use organic ingredients whenever possible - especially for things like raw fruit/veggie smoothies. You not only keep the pesticides out of the mix, but organic fruits generally have a higher nutrition content than traditionally grown products. Just all around a better choice - and better taste.
