Drink Your Veggies



I know, I'm sounding like a broken record these days, but seriously, drink your veggies!  And buy a professional grade blender.  As summer's bounty is at its peak and your kitchen is packed with fruits and vegetables, use them up by making a smoothie every morning.  I threw in a huge tomato in this one and it was delicious.  I drank a tomato!  Carrots are also my new favorite addition as they provide a smooth sweetness without any tart and are insanely good for you.  Blueberries and blackberries are also favorites as they quickly mask the green of lots of kale and spinach.  And of course I've been throwing in lots of peaches lately.  Even melon is a great addition this time of year as nothing beats the sweetness of a local cantaloupe.  Just do it, buy that Vitamix and start making daily vegetable and fruit smoothies and your health will thank you.  Generally speaking, here is what I throw in:


- almond milk
- coconut water
- chia seeds
- Greek yogurt
- banana
- greens (either kale or spinach)
- carrots
- blueberries, strawberries or peaches
- ice/water


and if I've thrown in a particularly large amount of kale, I'll often add a few drops of agave
