Morning Breakfast Smoothie

I call this the Morning Breakfast Smoothie, but really, you can enjoy it anytime of day. 
I just love to start my morning with tons of fruits and veggies! 




Morning Breakfast Smoothie: 
For optimal health, you'll want to make sure everything is organic; here's why.

1 cup filtered water
2 cups organic spinach (or 1 cup spinach, 1 cup kale)
1/2 cup organic shredded carrots
1/3 organic cucumber
2 sticks of an organic celery stalk
2 tbsp organic ground flaxseed
1 tbsp organic chia seeds
3/4 cup frozen organic mango
10 frozen organic strawberries
1/2 organic banana
Optional for added detoxifying affect: 
1/8 cup fresh organic parsley (why parsley?)
organic ground cayenne pepper (why cayenne pepper?)


Throw all ingredients into your blender and enjoy! I suggest starting with the spinach and veggies in the blender first and adding on from there.


Healthy Life Tip: If you want to switch up the flavor of this smoothie, keep the base of veggies, chia seeds, and flaxseed and just change up the fruits for some variety in flavor! Enjoy!

Healthy Green Smoothie!


This smoothie is a fast, easy, and VERY tasty way to add 1.5 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of fruit, and 8g fiber into your day! Perfect for getting kids to eat healthy!!


Find out how many vegetables and how much fruit you should be eating. 


Green Smoothie:

1/2 cup of water (or more, depending on your blender)
2 cups organic spinach
1/2 cup organic broccoli florets
1/2 cup organic green grapes
1/2 organic orange (peeled)
1/2 cup organic pineapple chunks
1/2 organic pear
5-6 ice cubes

If your blender is made to handle this amount of food, follow your normal instructions and if using a Vitamix, remember to build with the smallest items first (i.e. spinach on the bottom).

For other blenders, and for definitely for convenience, it helps to make spinach cubes or spinach and broccoli cubes (coming soon) ahead of time, and to also cut up the fruit into small pieces your blender can handle. It may help to blend 1/2 of the ingredients together first and then add the remaining half and finish blending.

Remember, the sugar is naturally occurring from fruit. It is important to meet your fruit requirements each day, and this smoothie will help do so, and for many, may meet the minimum requirements. This is where your sugar should be coming from, not artificial sources.
