Green Smoothies , where have you been all my life?

Recently I went on a quest for a nice effective and inexpensive blender to mix my breakfast smoothies in. A friend suggested the EuroPro Ninja blender and food Processor.
Folks, we have a winner.

It's a quick blend, easy to clean, and does a number on shredding all the greens i put in my Green Smoothie. I do love my veggies, but I can't find a single reason to complain about having them disguised inside an amazingly delicious and simple to make smoothie. Lately I've been having a blast playing around with different additions to my base smoothie. See below. Some ingredients I like to add:  kale, blueberry flavored kefir, fresh fruit, frozen berries, chocolate protein powder, pineapples, and peanut butter.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup spinach leaves
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup frozen chopped mango
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup mango or pineapple juice
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds

Directions

1.) Combine spinach, banana, mango, juice, milk and  1/2 cups ice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add chia seeds, pulse, and enjoy.

 

The perfect base!!

All mixed up!

Added Peanut Butter to this one. Yum!
