Manzi'd From Scratch Green Smoothie Recipe

Mike and I started with the bullet blender back in the day when we first started making smoothies. I loved it because it comes with two big travel cups with lids and two small cups. The big cups were great for me and Mike and the little ones were perfect for the twins, however since our family increases in size for Fathers day I bought Mike the Vitamix. It is expensive, but totally worth it!!!! I can not say that enough. It also makes the smoothies more like a nectar thick liquid rather than a honey thick drink....did I already mention it's amazing...no chunks with the Vitamix but you will have some chunks with the bullet.

Our daily recipe for 2 or more people:

Two BIG handfuls of baby spinach
2 bananas
-- originally we would peel and freeze them but with life thats to much prep
1 cup of frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
3-5 pieces or chunks of frozen pineapple
1 tablespoon of flax seeds
1 cup of plain or vanilla greek non - fat yogurt
add water or almond milk about a cup to get things moving


--Additions********
-we add left over fruit we have on the counter
-sometimes I squeeze a little lemon or lime to brighten the flavor
-the measurements of the frozen fruit are best estimates
-sometimes we add frozen broccoli florets
-this recipe will make a lot, we can fill 3 solo cups full
~~~~ I typically do not like to add black berries or raspberries bc of the seeds...they get stuck in my teeth when drinking the smoothie and since I am already addicted to flossing 24/7 it just adds to my daily nesessities
