Black Cherry Spinach

Black Cherry Spinach

1 cup Cran/Grape juice
1/2 Banana (fresh)
1/2 cup Black Cherry Greek Yogurt
8 tsp Oatmeal (dry)
2 tsp Ground Flax Seed
2 tsp Almond Meal (unblanched)
2 tsp Ground Chia Seed
1 scoop Super Greens (red powder)
1/3 cup Blackberries (fresh frozen)
1/2 cup Strawberries (fresh frozen)
1/3 cup Spinach (fresh frozen)
*Blend until smooth.  This will be a beautiful black cherry color, and a medium thickness of smoothie.  Makes 1 serving!  This is a bit tart, so my kids didn't like it.  If you are not a fan of tartness, you can add any of the following to make it taste sweeter: 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup Apple juice, 1 tbsp Agava juice (similar to honey but thinner, and not so sugary).  Enjoy~

Orange Mango Twist

The last smoothie recipe I posted was Orange Mango.  It was super yummy, and made a funky amount 2 and 1/2 servings.  So today I'm posting what I did with that 1/2 serving to make it a full serving.

Okay here goes~

Orange Mango Twist

Take the half a serving of the Orange Mango and add the following
2 tbsp oatmeal (dry)
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Vanilla flavored
2 full sized carrots (peeled, steamed: I got this amazing product that allows me to steam single servings of vegetables so I steamed the 2 carrots then threw them into my smoothie warm)
1/4 cup orange juice (I like the lots of pulp)
1/2 banana fresh
*Blend until smooth. This will be a thicker smoothie, white-ish peach in color with little carrot glitter if you have a Ninja blender like me. Makes 1 serving. Now since I added a warm carrot to this smoothie I had to chill the smoothie until I was ready to eat it...just keep that in mind.
