I mentioned a couple posts ago how much I love my new blender! (Thanks Mom!!) It’s amazing how many different things you can make with it.
This last Saturday, my two littlest guys (who are 2 and 1 years old) woke up with mild fevers and runny noses. Awesome way to start your weekend, right?! So I whipped out my new Cuisinart and made them (and the hubs & myself!) a yummy green breakfast smoothie packed with tons of vitamins and minerals. It was so delicious and kept me full for hours! And I’m happy to say, I haven’t caught their cold! I would like to think the smoothie is the reason why… 😉
LEAN GREEN BREAKFAST MACHINE:
Ingredients:
- 1 peach, sliced
- 1 banana
- handful of raspberries
- handful of blueberries
- 5-6 strawberries, hulled & halved
- about 1/4 cup blue agave sweetener
- 1 (6-oz) cup vanilla or plain yogurt (I love using Greek too but this was all I had in the fridge!)
- splashes of milk, eyeball it
- about 5 oz. spinach (4-5 cups or handfuls)
- couple handfuls of ice
Directions:
1) Throw it all in your blender and blend it up! Serve right away.
You can tell I eyeballed a lot of the measurements. Have fun and play around with it! Let me know what you think, enjoy!!
