Simple Smoothie Recipe

Rather than following a formula I’m a fan of being creative with my smoothies.  
It also depends on 
(a) what I have on hand, and 
(b) what I’m in the mood for
Here’s my general guideline when it comes to making a smoothie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups liquid
  • 1 cup fruit 
  • 1 cup veggies 
  • 1-2 tablespoons booster foods
  • 1 serving protein powder (if using)

Instructions
 

  • Tips: 
    Don’t simply throw everything in there and hit blend.  
    Start by blending liquid, boosters, and non-frozen ingredients.
    Then blend the remaining ingredients.
    Too many frozen ingredients won’t blend well If using frozen ingredients.
    Let it blend long enough to break them all down to avoid icy lumps.
    It’s okay to add extra liquid if needed (this isn’t an exact formula)
    Remember to write down combinations that you really love so you can have them again.
    Mix it up; don’t make the same smoothie every day. After all, variety is the spice of life
