Summer Smoothie

I start each day with a smoothie for breakfast.  I used to make a Green Monster Smoothie (recipe found here.)  However, after a few months of that I got a little tired so I decided to make my own.  This new recipe combines frozen berries, rhubarb (which we still have in abundance), spinach/kale, protein powder, and some orange juice.   I think this makes for a very balanced and healthy start to my day.

My smoothies always look something like this...

Here is the recipe I use but feel free to experiment with what you have on hand.  It is a smoothie after all.

1/2 frozen berries
1/4 cup rhubarb (frozen)
1/2 banana (frozen)
handful of spinach/kale
1/3 cup orange cup
1/3 cup or more of water to make it blend smoothly
1/2 scoop protein powder (I use vanilla)
you can also add in some flaxseed (my mom adds this to smoothies for the heart healthy benefits)

Blend until smooth and enjoy!
