Super Green Smoothie

I got this idea yesterday that I wanted to make a super green smoothie.  So, this morning I tried it and it actually turned out pretty good.  It wasn't too sweet, which is how we prefer our smoothies.  

Here are the ingredients (I fogot to add the ice before I took this picture).

All blended

It made a lot!  

Super Green Smoothie

1/2 cup apple juice

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (you could also use vanilla)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1-2 cups greens (of your choice)

1 Granny Smith apple

1/2 cup green grapes

1 kiwi

1/2 cup cucumber

1-2 tsp agave nectar

Super OJ Fruit Smoothie

Lee bought us a Vitamix Blender for our anniversary.  Best present EVER!  For the most part we have followed recipes, but we have also experimented a little. I forgot to write down the first one we tried, but tonight I made one with the kids and decided to take pictures and write it down.  No one else may ever try it, but I want to make sure I remember what we did.  Lee and I always like to add almonds, a little bit of oatmeal, and/or protein powder when we make our smoothies, but since this was just me and the kids, we went simple.  Ian also requested no greens or carrots.  LOL  

Here is some of it in my glass.  Yummy!

This was after I had poured three cups for us.  It made a lot!
