Breakfast Smoothie

I love smoothies, and my latest smoothie creation is soooo good, I had to share.

This recipe has it all! Fiber, iron, protein, antioxidants, healthy fats, probiotics from the yogurt... the list goes on! And to top it off, it is SO tasty!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup fresh spinach, stems removed
2 tbs. flax meal
1 tbs. olive oil
1/2 cup mandarin oranges
1/4 cup strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries
traditional honey flavored greek yogurt to taste/thickness

DIRECTIONS
Combine fruit and spinach in a food processor and process till VERY liquidy... you don't want bits of spinach in your teeth now, do you? Add flax meal and olive oil in the last minute or so of processing.

When finished processing, add yogurt and pulse a couple of times to get it mixed in.

Pour and serve!

Serves 2 generously.... we like a lot of yogurt in ours.
