{Green Smoothie}

Yes, i am into smoothies. I love em. What can i say. So, a friend of mine posted a green smoothie recipe on her blog a couple years ago. I made it for awhile and then stopped. I wanted to make those again , but couldn't remember the exact recipe so i decided to just put in what i remember and then add what i think i would like. It turned out DELICIOUS! I make this after my workout. It's my recovery drink! You can drink it anytime though! TRY IT!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup vanillla yogurt(any yogurt you prefer)

a squeeze of agave nectar, which is about 2-3 TBS.

juice of an orange

1 scoop of protein powder

About 1/8- 1/4 cup Flaxseed

one banana

6-7 strawberries

2 handfuls of spinach

6-8 ice cubes(your preference)


Directions:

Mix the liquids first along with the protein powder, then add the spinach, strawberries, bananas. And lastly, the ice cubes. Enjoy!


I am going to be totally honest. I can be a pig. This makes about 4 cups. I drink 3 cups of it. Tanner drinks about one cup. It's a lot, but man it tastes so good after a hard workout. I gulp it down quick! :)

I will be experimenting more with smoothies again soon.
