The Smoothie that Started it All

Not only is GREEN my favorite color, I have realized its a very tasty color as well! Recently we have purchased a VitaMix so I have been attempting to experiment and come up with some tasty and healthy recipes. My love for the VitaMix started with an alteration on a recipe that was already in the book and... it was a delicious success! The recipe calls for peaches.. but instead I substituted what I had....Oranges and Mandarins! I think that this is key to using the recipe book that comes with the Vitamix. You may not always have all the ingredients that are listed, but that shouldn't stop you from making your smoothie! Be CreATiVe!

First, I added a little bit of Almond Milk, then dropped in a handful of spinach, one medium sized peeled apple (without the core), two peeled oranges, a couple of mandarin wedges, and finally some ice cubes. Voila! A green, juicy smoothie, that doesn't even taste like spinach. Yummmmm...

The Peachy errr Orange-Green Smoothie is below:

Okay, Okay, this isn't actually a picture of MY smoothie, but the finished product looked just like this! I drank mine too fast to stop and take a picture..I'll try to slow myself down next time!
