  1. Berry Smoothies

    Monday, March 4, 2013

    At my work, we are having a weight race. Even though I don't have much weight to lose, I joined for the sake of having to be accountable for making healthy decisions like grilled chicken instead of my to-go-meal of pizza, using more fresh produce in our meals, and making time to use those fitness DVDs and weights that have been collecting dust. I try to be good, but working in a kitchen poses a huge problem. The try-not-to-eat-everything-in-sight problem. Turns out these smoothies are the perfect answer to a quick tummy filler for breakfast, before work, or a refreshing treat after a workout.

    Ingredients

    1 ripe banana, peeled
    1 cup blueberries
    1 cup raspberries
    1½ cups baby spinach leaves
    1 cup orange juice
    Agave syrup or honey, for sweetening if needed

    Directions
    Place the banana, blueberries, raspberries, spinach, and juice into a blender or food processor. Mixture is done when no flecks of spinach are visible. Add additional juice for desired texture and syrup or honey for desired sweetness.
