My Superfood Smoothie Recipe

Good Morning (I believe it still counts as morning since it doesn't actually say 12:00 on my computer clock)

Today, I'm going to talk about my favorite concoction of smoothie that I have invented. I call it my superfood smoothie. I really enjoy it when i get back from a really rigorous work out, or I'm feeling sluggish and tired. It has lots of replenishing and cramp-preventing fruit, and the flavor is amazing!

I make it two different ways depending on funds, and resources.
Here is the first way:
1 Ripe Banana (diced)
1 Sweet Pear (it can be any pear you like that has a sweet flavor) Diced
7-10 HOME grown strawberries* sliced
5-10 ice cubes (depending on your size of the ice cube, and what consistency you're looking for)
blend it, pour it, drink it! feel replenished!

Here is way # 2
1 Ripe Banana diced
1 Sweet pear cored and diced
7-10 HOME grown strawberries*
5-10 ice cubes
1/2 of the bottle of Odwalla's "original superfoods" fruit / vegetable juice ( i know it looks gross, but it is SO good for you, and the flavor is Delicious) since its expensive i pour only half the bottle in per smoothie (the small 12 oz bottle)
blend, and enjoy

both of these smoothie recipes usually yield two smoothies, in my case i share the other half with my love, Jeremy. But you could always just put it in the fridge for after another work out, the next morning etc. Its a great smoothie and i love it!


I hope you try it at home, let me know what you think or your variations of it.
or YOUR favorite smoothie recipe.



** In regards to strawberries. I just wanted to make a quick note here it is best to use home grown strawberries for this recipe because homegrown strawberries have a sweeter taste naturally. Store bought strawberries (which are just fine in the winter...but cmon is strawberry season!) are meant to last for days on shelves in stores in order to be profitable. Homegrown strawberries, while they don't last long, not any more than 5 days in the refridgerator, have great flavor and are full of sweet juices. As a result of this it is best reccomended to go to your local farmers market and get yourself some of those home grown strawberries!


Until next time...keep keepin it healthy!
