Veggies & Wine

I used to make this smoothie with kefir but since going vegan that is a no-no so the replacement is soy milk. Packed full of vitamins and minerals! Great for a late morning breakfast after coffee.

Green Smoothie

Serving: 1-2 (my husband and I split this)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup soy milk
• Frozen banana (if you use a non-frozen banana add a few ice cubes so your smoothie is nice and chilled)
• 2 additional fruits of your choice. I change this up from frozen blueberries, apple, orange, melon. Any fruit that is starting to go bad just throw it in the there.
• 1 tbsp Flax seeds
• Spinach (about 1 cup)

Directions:

1. In a blender (or food processor) add in this order .. banana, soy milk, fruit, flax seed then stuff as much spinach in as will fit.
2. Blend up. This takes me awhile and you might have to take a wooden spoon to shove everything to the bottom if you are using a blender.
