Morning SmoothieThis is a featured page

My wife and I have something like this every morning:

2 cups of grapes, with seeds
slice of cantaloupe about 2 inches wide, with seeds
1/2 avacado (you can include the seed if you have a REALLY good blender, but we don't include it)
1 carrot
1 pear, cut in pieces
about one cup of spinach, kale, or collards (NB: cruciform vegetables, eaten raw, are not recommended for people with thyroid problems. Spinach is O.K.)
2 tablespoons of flax seeds ( you can also add oatmeal, wheat berries, or whatever )
1 scoop of protein powder of your choice
1 raw organic egg
a handful of ice cubes
You may want to sweeten it, with whatever you like for sweetener

We put some frozen fruits, such as blue berries, strawberries or raspberries in place of ice cubes sometimes; cucumber is very good in it; pineapple is great; mango is often in the mix

Basically use your imagination

We blend this in a BlendTek on the "Whole Juice" setting, and don't have to worry about the timing. It always works, but in other machines, you want to check the texture to match what you want.

This thing perks up your morning a great deal.
