I often find myself eating breakfast on the run which usually results in me downing a granola bar, a handful of cereal or some kind of cookie. Great way to start the day, huh? I needed a better option so I started to experiment with smoothies after my inlaws so generously gave us a vitamix. This thing is amazing and makes some of the best smoothies because it literally pulverizes anything you put inside. We have tried a ton of different combinations, but this green smoothie is, by far, my favorite. The best part is that the spinach and carrots are almost undetectable and you would never know by the taste that they are even in there. My husband and my daughter drink this without hesitation. I love it because I can start my day off with a good dose of fruits and veggies and it is incredibly filling.
Green Smoothie
Serves 2 adults
2 bananas, peeled
1/4 pineapple, chopped
1 fresh peach or 8 slices of bagged frozen peaches
1-2 cups of spinach
2 whole carrots, peeled and chopped
3 TBSP Chia Seeds
1/4 – 1/4 cup coconut water or regular water
Place the ingredients in your blender and blend until combined. Add ice if you like your smoothies chilled. We pour ours into to-go cups with straws so they are the perfect breakfast on the go!
I had mentioned before that we used a vitamix for this smoothie. It is an incredibly powerful blender that pulverizes anything you put inside. That is why the carrots are undetectable. If you are using a blender that is not as powerful, you might want to leave the carrots out.
I also feel the need to mention that this post was not paid for by vitamix. I just really love my blender!
