So I am totally into smoothies right now.

I do this when seasons change, at the first sign of a new season I totally embrace it. Like every August/September the first semi cool morning I will wear leggings and boots and a scarf and anything else fallish. Of course by the end of the day I am dying because it is still like 90 degrees outside. Well we have had a couple fairly nice days here and I have totally become enthralled in spring. Smoothies for breakfast! Pastel dresses! Windows down!

Great right?

Well thing is, it got cold again. It actually snowed a couple days ago! Come to think of it, it was snowing while I was walking to my car sipping this smoothie. As I got in my car shivering I wondered why the heck I was drinking a smoothie instead of coffee like a normal person and why I already put my coats away.

Overzealous much? I think so.

So just in case you are not in total spring mode, I am going to motivate you! Today I have one of my favorite smoothie recipes. I will warn you, I load my drinks up! I have them for breakfast and I want them to keep me full until the afternoon. I also think it is the perfect opportunity to throw in some extra nutrients to get you though the day!

Now don’t get squeamish on me with this green machine. I am completely aware it looks unappetizing, which is why I don’t drink it out of a clear glass. (ha!) It is good I promise! This is full of mangos, peaches spinach, and white grape juice! You absolutely cannot taste the spinach, I swear! You really only taste the mango, peaches, and juice. It is very tropical and refreshing!

Now here is a great example of a very hearty, well balanced breakfast. Baked Ham and Red Pepper Stacks, with a small red potato thinly sliced and roasted with a little olive oil, served alongside a Mango Peach Green Smoothie. This gives you a full serving of fruit and vegetables, a healthy dose of protein and carbs to sustain you!

During the work week I usually make two smoothie servings. I drink one for breakfast and put the other in a sealed mason jar. I have a tiny fridge at work so I put the drink in the even tinnier freezer and have it with my lunch, or a mid afternoon pick me up.

Give this one a try, you will be surprised!
