Most mornings, I opt for a smoothie for breakfast.  There is just something about starting my morning with a big glass of high nutrient dense foods.  Perhaps it’s because a smoothie is an easy thing to down right after my morning run when I am often pressed for time.  There are no exact measurements and most anything will work in a smoothie.  It’s just a matter of personal preference and fruit availability. 

 

Ingredients

• 1 apple, red delicious is best due to it’s high antioxidant value

• ½ C frozen grapes
• ½ C frozen pineapple
• ½ C frozen berries
• Frozen spinach
• Apple or grape juice – enough to allow processing
