Melon, Orange, Banana green smoothie
I am trying to get back to my daily green smoothie habit. It makes such a difference in my day - I know that I have so much more energy throughout the day if I start out with a green smoothie for breakfast. I don't have one set recipe I follow, it's just usually a combination of whatever fresh or frozen fruit I have on hand, something green (I really like kale in them; broccoli gives a surprising creaminess), and a little extra liquid (water, coconut milk, sometimes some brewed green tea). Sometimes I add a little honey for sweetness. Sometimes I add ground flax, or chia seeds. Occasionally I will add a little protein powder if I'm feeling like I need a little more of a start to the day.
Today's was a simple one:
Two kinds of melon - canteloupe and a mystery green melon - diced leftover from dinner last night
Two whole oranges, peeled and cut a little
Two very ripe bananas
One head of broccoli
A little water
Blended in my Vitamix until very smooth.
