This morning I had tons of fresh fruit so I quickly cut it all up and put it in the freezer to "flash-freeze". I left it in for about 1 1/2 hours, which is perfect timing for me to finish my coffee first. I drink a cup or two of coffee every morning before I drink my smoothie.
This is how I put the fruit in. I used a cake pan only because I had just made a cake for my son's birthday party. It worked out nice actually!
When I took it out of the freezer, I just dumped it right into my blender. Here are the rest of the ingredients I used:
I used about 2 cups of Almond Breeze (unsweetened/30 calories). I threw in 2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach, a large drizzle of honey to sweeten and about a teaspoon each of Ground Flaxseed and Chia Protein Powder. I put it all in together and blended until smooth. I like to blend it for about 2 minutes to make sure it's all smooth.
And here's the finished product. Yummy! It was icy, but not thick. I had two cups. This is all I had for breakfast and it kept me full all morning.
I like to start my day with a green smoothie. It makes me feel like I've started the day off right and I've already had some greens! Try it! You can't taste them I swear!
Have a wonderful morning!
