I started thinking the other day, that I haven't been getting enough vegetables in my diet, but there is only so much I can buy without wasting it. I decided to try adding the vegetables I love for dinner, to my breakfast and see how I like it. Most of this recipe came from my mom, but I had some flax in my cupboard and decided to use it. The roasted flax seed overpowers the spinach and adds a nice nutty flavor, so it tastes like a fruit and nut smoothie, rather than a spinach smoothie.
Ingredients:
1 can Dole 100% Pineapple Juice (6 oz)
5 medium Strawberries
1/2 medium Bananas
1/2 Zucchini
1 tbsp Golden Roasted Flax Seed (whole seeds)
5 pieces Frozen Mango Chunks (Trader Joe's)
2 or 3 handfuls of baby spinach (I think that's about a cup of spinach)
Directions:
Cut banana and zucchini into chunks and place everything except spinach in a blender and blend until smooth. Then add spinach and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
