Basic Smoothies

Smoothies are the best, fastest way to start your day! You can add in a ton of great ingredients to make a different smoothie every day. I like to have a smoothie at least 3 days a week, and alternate with other options like eggs and yogurt the other days. Here is a basic smoothie recipe and a list of other ingredients you can add for flavor, more good healthy fats and taste. For some holiday variations, check out the recipes on this site for Shamrock Shake, Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake, or Superfood Gingerbread Smoothie.
