Do you smoothie? Well, I’m a self-professed Vitamix-loving, smoothie-making fiend myself, and the above 5 smoothies are in constant rotation at our home. (Disclaimer: I have to add blueberries to the two green ones to appease my dear son who detests anything green.)
Check out these 5 recipes, and let me know if I should add any of your favorites to my list. I’ll be over here trying to duplicate my favorite juice into smoothie form…okay, let’s face it, this juicer purchase is on the horizon.

They are so delicious! I live in Vancouver now so I had to pick up the book to recreate some of my favourite dishes and beverages. I highly recommend it.

1/2 banana, 2-3 oz orange juice, handful or two of fresh spinach, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, dollop of yogurt, 1/2 c. ice
Easy peasy! Even my two-year old likes them.
