Love My Smoothies for Breakfast.

After my run with the dogs, I really enjoy making a smoothie for breakfast. It just hits the spot. I need some hydration, plus its brimming with vitamins, minerals, fiber, complex carbohydrates, and protein. What more could a girl want?

Here is my latest creation, but with so many smoothie recipes out there I am sure someone has made a version like it some where. I use organic fruit and vegetables that I purchase through my local organic produce buying group that was organized by this lovely individual Joanna from Promoting the Raw Food Diet While Debunking the Myths. I wash everything ahead of time and store all my greens in green storage bags which extends the storage life. If you are interested in finding out more about setting up your own organic buying group or just curious you can read about it here.

Kori’s Green Smoothie II

2 really ripe bananas broken into 1″ pieces

1 large stalk of celery chopped into 1″ pieces

1 very large curly kale stalk, destemed

1 lemon – juiced

1 lime – juiced

1 1″ piece of ginger (peeled if not organic)

6 Valencia oranges (peeled)

8 chunks of frozen pineapple (1 – 1/2″ slices of pineapple)

1 cup frozen blueberries

1/4 tsp of green stevia (or sweetner of your choice)

dash of cayenne pepper (if you like)

Add the first 7 ingredients to a high speed blender container and blend on high until smooth (10 -20 sec). Next add the pineapple and blend again until smooth. And finally add the blueberries, stevia and caynenne pepper and blend until smooth. Now Enjoy! Makes 4 servings (8cups) or two very large servings. Store what you don’t drink in the fridge in a air tight container (for example a glass jar) and enjoy later. Will keep for 2days. But optimum nutrition is best if consumed immediately or with in 24 hours.
