Smooth-tastic!

I love smoothies, especially after a morning run. Here's how I like to make them.

• Greens-lots of them (I like baby spinach, kale, Swiss chard, cabbage, etc.)
• 1-Carrot
• 1-Stalk Celery
• 1/2-Apple
• 1-Banana
• 1/2-3/4 Cup-Frozen Fruit (Blueberries, Strawberries, Cherries, Cranberries, Raspberries, Mango, etc. - I like to use a mixture)
• 1 heaping tsp-Spirulina Powder
• 1 heaping Tbsp-Hemp Seed
• 1 heaping Tbsp-Ground Chia Seed
• 1/2 Cup-Plain Yogurt (Fat Free)
• 100% Juice and/or Milk (soy?)-Add enough to get to your preferred thickness

I use a Vita Mix so I throw everything in and blend, no chopping/juicing necessary. The above makes a good amount; enough for 2 large and 2 small glasses, which is exactly the size of my family. : ) I always let Elia take the first sip, and if she likes it, I know it's good. : ) We've gotten lucky, because this combination always creates an awesome Smoothie!!
