We're smoothie fans! Almost every day at this house is started with a smoothie....a great way to increase fruit and vegetable (but mostly fruit) intake first thing in the morning. Sometimes I make them with yogurt or with soy milk or with orange juice; and sometimes they are green smoothies for that extra spinach intake; and sometimes instead of juice I use coconut water. I buy Zico brand at Trader Joe's....a slightly expensive habit but it does make for a nice variety of liquid in the smoothie....a bit less sweet than when it is made with juice. I have found that buying the individual servings works for us since we would just drink it if I bought the larger and seemingly more economical size. I usually have a couple bottles of this on hand for those days when I run out of other liquids.
Our smoothies are usually the green monster type with the spinach, as I mentioned. However, they do tend to change with the seasons. For winter it is usually frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen bananas along with liquid.
A great way to start the day!
