Breakfast Smoothie

Breakfast Smoothie
Call it Vitamin Infusion, Fiber Optimum, or just plain delicious. We spent the weekend at Palm Dessert with our son. On the menu was a smoothie for the price of $6.50. Add tax and tip and rounded out it costs about$8.50. Buy yourself a Vita-mix blender and for the price of a little kale, spinach, banana, apple, strawberry, orange, kiwi, bell pepper, celery, carrot, and fruit juice whirled in the Vita-mix, you have your daily requirements of five vegetables and five fruits.
There is no set formula or recipe for a smoothie. It can be made more or less with what you have on hand. For years I made a fruit smoothie with yogurt, banana, orange juice and a frozen combination of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
The benefit of healthy eating is usually returned with the years of good health. Try a breakfast smoothie tomorrow.
Our daughter Barbara sent the photos of her smoothie combination to share. Thank you Barbara.
