Starter Smoothie

I've never been much of a breakfast person, but I always know from my annoying morning stomach growls that I need to have a little something on my belly to start my day. Which is why smoothies are the best route to go for me! And not to mention they are incredibly easy (especially for those 6 a.m. mornings when you literally feel like you're super-glued to your bed).

So yesterday, believe it or not, I started my day off with a smoothie! After making smoothies for quite some time now (you can pretty much call me a pro ;)) I've gotten used to a lot of them having a pretty "earthy" taste, so if this recipe is a little too el-naturel-tasting for you, feel free to use a little more natural sweetener (agave nectar, truvia/stevia, fruit-flavored greek yogurt, etc).

What I used to make this smoothie:
-blueberries, raspberries, & strawberries (combination of fresh and frozen)
-Nonfat plain greek yogurt
-Original flavor almond milk
-Spinach/Power blend (Organic Girl)
-Agave nectar (to sweeten it up a notch)

                           


So basically I just threw all of the ingredients in a cup (this is the easiest way to measure out your ingredients if you're doing just a single smoothie. It's better than guesstimating and throwing everything straight in a blender!).

Don't you just love the way smoothies look in their most raw state? (or maybe that's just me..)

And voila! Here it is, ready to drink! 

And like I said, this might taste a little too earthy for your liking if you're just starting out with the smoothie gig, so if you want to sweeten it up, add any kind of natural sweetener (try and avoid artificial sweetener such as sweet 'n low, splenda, etc.) 

Enjoy!
