Start Your Day Right Smoothies

Ingredients

Tropical Green Smoothie

  • 10 oz. package of spinach leaves or any dark leafy green
  • 2 T Coconut oil
  • 1 c. Water
  • 1 Frozen banana
  • 2 c. Frozen mixed yellow and orange fruit I like a blend of pinespple, mango and peaches

Banana Peanut Butter Green Smoothie

  • 10 oz. package of spinach leaves or any dark leafy green
  • 2 T Peanut butter all natural/no sugar added, use organic where possible( or substitute all natural almond butter)
  • 1 c. Water or Almond milk
  • 2 Frozen bananas
  • *Use organic greens and peanut butter when possible. Most leafy greens are on the EWG's Dirty Dozen list of produce with the highest levels of pesticide residue and peanuts are also one of the most heavily sprayed crops.

Instructions

  • Add the greens, oil or nut butter and liquid to your blender first and blend on high until the greens are completely puréed. Then add the frozen fruit and blend until smooth. You may want to add more or less liquid or some ice, depending on how thick and creamy you like your smoothies. I like to be able to drink mine with a straw, so I make them fairly thin.
  • These recipes make approximately 2-4 small servings for a family for breakfast or one larger smoothie for one person for breakfast and to sip throughout the morning, Enjoy your new morning habit and see how great you feel!
