Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get in more fruits and vegetables to  your day.  One of the smoothies my husband likes to make has the following ingredients:

• 2 banana (frozen)
• A handful of kale
• 1 apple
• 1 carrot
• walnuts or almonds or almond butter (1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup of raw beets (add more to taste)
• A handful of Frozen blueberries/mixed berries
• 2 scoops of Hemp Protein or Pea Protein (Trader Joe’s has it in stock)
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 1 cup Coconut Milk/Almond Milk/Rice Milk/ Hemp Milk (any of these will work, just not cows milk)
• Fill water to top of mixture (not to the top of blender)

We use a Vitamix, but any blender should work.  You can always add ice or put in fridge for it to cool more. This mixture make 4-5 8 ounce glasses of smoothie, which lasts us about 2 mornings.
