Since my last post was all about eating your vegetables, what better way to celebrate than with a green smoothie? Green smoothies are a great way to get some serious raw veggies in your diet, and it's easier on your digestive system than straight up raw veg. You're kind of 'hacking the digestion' as a friend of mine described it.

| peaches & blueberries |
All you need is fruits, vegetables, water and a blender.
I like to use some frozen fruits, as I enjoy my smoothies year-round, and fresh peaches are hard to come by in February. There's pretty much no wrong way to make a green smoothie, but this is my favorite super-simple combo:
Some frozen peaches and blueberries (About 1-2 cups total. Peaches are my favorite base--sweet, but not as cloying as bananas.)
GREENS--I like baby spinach, kale, and swiss chard. Sometimes in a pinch I'll use frozen kale and spinach, but the fresh baby stuff blends up real smooth. I put in about 3 cups, give or take.
For me, the most vital ingredient is 1/4 of an avocado. It gives the whole thing a little bit of slip and creaminess (you can also use some kind of milk, like coconut milk, but nothing beats the avocado for my taste.
