Summer Smoothies

Thanks to many months of Fresh Beat Band, our family is crazy over smoothies.  Tropical Smoothie is a unanimous hot spot for our family but can be kinda pricey. So for a mid-morning snack or a beverage to go with dinner, this is one of our favorite blends. It includes:

• 2 cups of spinach leaves
• 2 cups of mixed fruit
• 1 kiwi (the skin gives it a tangy taste)
• 2 cups of Greek yogurt vanilla bean flavor( I can eat a case of this in a day!)
• 2 tablespoons of organic chia seed
• 4 cups of juice, coconut milk, or 1% milk
• 2 cups of ice

~ I prefer the mixed berries rather than the tropical fruit, but the package of mixed berries is significantly more expensive.~ I love the fact that the kids drink their spinach and I don't have to keep on bribing them to:)~ Chia seed is an old but newly crazed over superfood. It is rich in Omega-3s and antioxidants and TONS of other minerals. Here's to a healthy and tasty summer!
