For the last two years, I have started almost every day with a smoothie. This was a departure from a lifetime of cereal. With one smoothie, I pack in almost a days worth of fruit, vegetables, and super foods. They are easy to make, digest, delicious, nutritious, and portable. I make a large one for myself to drink at breakfast and take another one to work to sip on during the morning.
My typical smoothie includes:
1 large banana
1-2 cups frozen berries
1-2 cups frozen greens (spinach or kale)
1 ginger root (about the size of the tip of your thumb)
1 tbsp tumeric
2-3 tablespoons of chia and/or flax seeds
1 lemon or lime
2-3 table spoons of tart cherry juice
I fill to almost the top of the blender with water, and blend until smooth. Any blender will do, but I probably couldn't live without my Vitamix!
