    4-5 oz. carrots
    1 med apple
    1 banana
    your choice spinach, kale, or broccoli (aprox. 1 bunch)
    4 oz. yogurt (i love greek yogurt, but any lowfat yogurt is just ducky)
    2 tbsp peanut butter (optional, but great for some extra calories, protein, and nummy fats)
    1 1/2 cups filtered water
    1-2 tbsp psyllium husk (optional, but fiber is your friend)

    I add a full scoop of vanilla or chocolate mint protein powder to this and I'm good to go :)

    Enjoy!

    Pinterest is great for smoothie recipes!

    My two quick favorites are:

    4 ounces vanilla greek yogurt
    1 sliced frozen banana
    1 cup almond milk
    1 scoop almond butter
    fill to the top with baby greens

    1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
    1 scoop almond butter
    2 bananas
    2 cups ice
    1/2 cup yogurt (I always use greek, but I am sure any would taste fine)

    My husband actually tried this oatmeal shake and it was a disaster b/c 2 cups of ice there was no liquid in it. What did we do wrong????

    I have been playing around with smoothies off and on for several months now. It is such a great way to pack in more fruits or veggies than you would normally be able to eat at one time, but to drink them all in a juice or a smoothie is much easier!

    I just found this recipe for a creamsicle smoothie that I am so excited to try after my zumba class tonight. I already have the fruits in the freezer!

    1 large ripe banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen
    1/2 small avocado, chopped and frozen
    3 Clementines, peeled, broken into segments and frozen
    1/2 cup coconut milk
    1/2 cup almond milk
    1/4 tsp almond extract
    1 Medjool date, pitted and roughly chopped
    juice from half a small lemon
