Jude’s favorite time of the day (not kidding) is Smoothie Time! Every morning we start Jude’s day by making this smoothie in our trusty Vitamix. The sound of the blending beginning is the highlight of his day! It’s the best.
We make the smoothie in our Ascent Series Vitamix, but occasionally I (Bobby) make it in a big cup with the Immersion Blender. It really just depends how much you want to make.
Here’s our recipe:
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 teaspoon of flax
1 teaspoon of chia seeds
1 teaspoon of hemp seeds
1 scoop of Greek yogurt
1/2 cup of Almond Milk
Lots of spinach (2 handfuls?)
3 dates
A splash of water
We more or less just eyeball the ingredients based on who’s having a smoothie. We also modify with berries and almond butter when we have them. And we also like buying bulk frozen fruit from Costco, so in general we add about a total of 1 cup of fruit. When you have this every day, it’s nice to make a few tweaks :)
This smoothie is a great way to give your kiddos all the nutrients they need to kick-start their day (and you too). Let us know what you think!
