Smoothies are fast and easy to prepare and the best part is they are made with real food. I like to combine some kind of greens like basil, parsley, spinach, kale, cilantro etc with frozen fruit

I like to use fruit like berries, whether they be blueberries, blackberries and raspberries because of their lower sugar content.

I like to use an apple for it's fiber and sweetness and either a whole or 1/2 banana. Bananas do have a lot of sugar so you can use half.

Please use organic fruit and vegetables when ever possible.

Here are the ingredients:

1 or 2 scoops of your favorite chocolate protein powder
1 apple, cored
1/2 to 1 banana, frozen
1 cup of raspberries or any blend of berries, frozen or fresh
1 to 2 Tbsp. organic Chia seeds
5 leaves of fresh basil
1/4 of a fresh beet
1 handful of fresh parsley and/or cilantro
1 cup or more of water or coconut water or more depending on consistency
4 to 5 ice cubes

Place all ingredients in a blender, Vitamix or Blendtec are the best to use, and blend. The less water you use the thicker the shake will be.

Tip:
If you freeze some of your fruits like beets, bananas, and berries, this does two things.
1. Makes your smoothy nice and cold without having to use much ice
2. It's a great way to extend the life of some of your fruit and you will have it year round when it is not in season.

I like to freeze my bananas when they start to turn and i cannot eat them in time. Just peel the skin and wrap in plastic wrap and place in a zip loc bag.

I hope you enjoyed my smoothie. Please share it with this link: http://youtu.be/rRrcVHBx3Y8
