I've been eating a smoothie almost every weekday for breakfast for the past 5 years (since I read Eat To Live). I use a vita-mix. This is my all time favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 large apple (braeburn, fuji, gala, etc.), quartered...skin, seeds & all.
- 1 orange, peeled and quartered
- 2 cups frozen Mango pieces
- 1 cup frozen mixed blueberries, blackberries & raspberries
- 1 scoop vanilla flavored soy protein powder
- 1 cup vanilla flavored soy milk
Directions
- Put the fresh fruit (I leave just a tad of peel on the orange for flavor) and rest of ingredients in the blender/vita mix
- Run on medium, pushing down with an instrument until the mixture is blending
- Turn to high and leave for 30-60 seconds
- Pour and drink!
- A few variations I might recommend. My wife Nancy prefers this without the protein powder. If you don't like Soy, feel free to substitute another protein powder and/or low fat or rice milk. I used to put in some yogurt, but found it added calories without adding much flavor or healthy micro-nutrients. I occasionally throw in a Banana, Peach, Kiwi, or Melon. Tangerines are also a nice, slightly more tart substitute for oranges. Feel free to mix and match...but the basic is still my favorite!
