Fruit and Vegetable Smoothies every day

Since I started running and watching what I eat about 7 weeks ago, I have been making a fruit & veggie smoothie just about every day. I have a Vitamix blender that I use that does a great job, no small bits of anything left after I blend it.

Here is what I put in today’s breakfast/mid morning snack;

  • Dole - Frozen Blueberries, 0.5 cup
  • Michigan Apples - 1 Large Fuji Apple 
  • Carrot - Large - Raw***, 1 large
  • Pineapple - Raw, all varieties, 1 cup, diced 
  • Spinach - Raw, 1 cup
  • Dannon - Light & Fit, Non Fat, Vanilla Yogurt, 4 oz
  • Tropicana - Orange Juice, Some Pulp, 6 fl oz

This was calculated by MyFitness at 412 calories, which is not bad since this is breakfast and mid-morning snack for me. Very filling and introducing the fruit and vegetables has really made me feel better in several ways.  It’s an easy way to get vegetables and fruit that I wouldn’t normally eat.

This is not today’s smoothie, but a recent one.
