Wow, this is almost what i make for my green smoothies. Try freezing your berries; that makes it frozen and even better tasting. I have a Vitamix which blends everything so much better than the regular blender. I also use about 10 strawberries (frozen), handful of frozen peaches, and a piece or two of banana (frozen), my stomach is sensitive to bananas so i don't use too many. Can mix and match the fruit to taste, the key is freezing the fruit. I can't live without my Vitamix green smoothies. Go Green !!

A great (and tasty!) way to start the day! DH and I just had this for breakfast. Due to ingredient availability, I used tangerine juice, strawberries, pineapple, spinach and sprouts and a little stevia, to kick it up a notch. We feel healthier already! ;D Thank you vigilant20 for posting!

Our first green smoothie and we really liked it. We always use strawberries, add yogurt, flax meal, a banana (sometimes frozen) and some raw honey. If we have quinoa cooked, we will add that too. We liked it all ways. It's a good basic smoothie to add to. thankx!
