    They're not green, but pumpkin smoothies are a delicious way to get an orange vegetable into your morning.

    I take oranges and put spinach in it because they're both high in calcium. I know it sounds bad but seiously worth it.

    A medium-sized orange has 52 mg of calcium unlike most fruits.
    and..
    Spinach is amazing becuase it is a low-calorie food that is rich in vitamins A, C, K, folate, iron, magnesium and potassium. It is an excellent source of carotenoid pigments, lutein and zeaxanthin. It has a lot of calcium! One serving has 30% of your daily amount.
    also..
    Both oranges and spinach are also high in Vitamin C which may reduce the incidence of age-related macular degeneration. Consuming spinach with vitamin C-rich foods can increase absorption of calcium from spinach.

    Try it! Nom. nom nom.

    Love them! This is what I usually do:

    1/2 cup coconut milk
    1/2 cup water
    handful of spinach
    handful of kale
    handful of collard greens
    4-7 strawberries
    1/2 of an avocado (buy them cheap then freeze them)
    1 banana (buy them brown then freeze them)
    1 apple
    2 teaspoons of chia seeds

    other random stuff I add when I'm in the mood:
    cinnamon
    blue berries
    peach
    arugula (its kinda spicy)
    more strawberries
    almond slivers


    this usually makes 4 cups which I split into breakfast and dinner or breakfast and two snacks.

    I've just gone gluten free, dairy free and sugar free and this helps with that.
