But truth is, I don't want to wake up that early.
For the last few weeks I have had one of these every morning for breakfast: a green smoothie.
I first heard about green smoothies here. But then I found out, a lot of people know about green smoothies and I'm late to the game.
Well, let me tell you, Justin and I have been feeling great ever since we started drinking these. That sounds like I am selling something, I'm not. They are just that good, I had to share!
Here's my favorite version so far:
Green Smoothie:
2 whole oranges, peeled
2 bananas
1 cup frozen pineapple
4 cups of spinach
Blend. Add water if more liquid is needed and blend, blend, blend till smooth. I have to do this for 2-3 minutes. If you have a cool vitamix, it's easier, and I am envious of you.

simply breakfast is beautiful, I'm just not motivated enough in the mornings to pull all that off! haha.
That smoothie looks like swamp water, I love it. I think I'm going to try it out soon - does it taste spinach-y?
Good question Hannah! .. it doesn't taste spinach-y at all. It mainly tastes like oranges - especially if you use fresh orange juice instead of water. yuummm!
haha! swamp water... its so true!
No Ice??
I may post a pic of my VitaMix just 4 U.
Nope, no ice!
YOU HAVE A VITAMIX! Jealousy!
You should definitely try a green smoothie then.
Aw. I drink my daily (non-green) smoothie out of a mason jar too. Good call.
Wow it seems great.
just a question, raw spinach or cooked?
Thanks for sharing!
xo
hi shokoofeh! I use raw spinach, mmmmmm!
I love spinach so I would have no trouble drinking this. And if you give me any beverage in a ball glass, I am happy. Sounds healthy and delicious!
I'm glad to hear you use raw spinach. Somehow the frozen just didn't seem right with this fruit. Looks kooky enough to warrant a try.
I don't have a vitamix, but I have a new immersion blender...might that work? Beautiful photos. Never knew a green drink could look so good.
Yum.
I've been coveting a vitamix for a long while, and it's getting to the point where I REALLY wish I had one. For things like this.
try it with spirulina and a little goooood honey. No spinach needed then to make it green and just as yummy!!
