Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Serves 2 people

Ingredients

  • Start with 3/4 to 1 cup of water
  • 1. Then choose three vegetables. Typically, I use about 3 cups or large handfuls of spinach, one whole carrot and one or two small vine tomatoes.
  • 2. Next, I choose three fruits. I start with either mango, pear or apple for the base, then I add one whole orange and either 1 cup blueberries, strawberries or pineapple to flavor.
  • 3. Sometimes, I will add about 1/4-1/3 avocado which helps give the smoothie a nice creamy texture while boosting the calories and healthy fat content to make the smoothie more satisfying.

Directions

  1. Start by adding the liquid to your blender, followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

  2. Add any kind of seeds that you like: Flax seeds, chia seeds, etc
