Ahhhh, I love this ! I've been 'smoothie curious' for quite a long time, but didn't have a blender that was up to the job, really. I even bought a Juiceman a couple decades ago, which was a complete waste of money, lol ... I invested in a Vitamix blender last month, during Amazon Prime Days Sale (Ascent for about $200 off, woohooo!). My googling caused my Google Newsfeed to populate with this story, that I just LOVE. It's perfect, simple, no drama/stress/planning, just empty your fruit that's going, and a couple handfuls of nuts in a blender, and you're done. Bam!
Caveat: It doesn't have greens, however. Just fruit and veggies

At home with his wife of 45 years, Sabate has developed a trick for making effortless, nutrient-dense breakfast smoothies. His "fruit shake," as he calls it, involves a few leftovers plus protein and healthy fats that keep him going for hours. ...
Sabate's fruit shake recipe fluctuates depending on the season, and what's available at his local market in the Los Angeles suburbs. But it always involves two core ingredients — leftover fruit (especially the overripe stuff that's about to go bad) and two heaping handfuls of nuts.
Sabate's wife likes to dress up the morning smoothie with a topping of crunchy cacao nibs. He eats it with a spoon, since it tends to be too thick to drink from a glass.Courtesy of Joan Sabate

- Breakfast smoothies are a hit with many longevity experts.
- A Blue Zone doctor shared one of the simplest recipes: a blend of leftover nuts and fruit.
- His technique takes minutes and doesn't involve any expensive powders or green drinks.

Safari Girl, you live the Blue Zone Diet, yes? And how FUN, just returning from one of the Blue Zones! 😋1 -

One of the things I do you like the article said is use leftover fruit and vegetables. Ones that are not at the peak of their freshness and might not be as good to eat whole or cooked. But they are great in a smoothie. I did that this morning with a couple peaches that we're a little on a soft side. And you know I have cacao nibs and I think I'm going to do that tomorrow. I also like to do smoothie chia pudding. So I'll blend up a an extra helping of a smoothie poured in a bowl with my chia seeds and put it in the fridge for the next day. I killed two birds with one stone.1

@Nutbugs2 - that peach morning smoothie sounds great! Cacao nibs are such a great addition. I love them too.
I made coffee this morning in French press, I added a few cacao nibs in the grinds for flavor as I was pressing and really added a nice rich flavor!
Chia pudding - I bet that’s going to taste great. 😊0
