Fit Friday: My favorite green smoothie
After playing around with recipes, I finally found my favorite version of a bunch of them.
My Favorite Green Drink:
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt
(It's way better with vanilla)
(I buy the big container of Dannon Nonfat Light & Fit Vanilla yogurt- It's in a big purple container- it's my favorite ever)
1 Navel orange or 1 Tangerine or 1 Mandrine orange
(I just peel whatever I have on hand- it's amazing with any type of orange)
2 cups of spinach
1/2 frozen banana
7 ice cubes
ANNDDDD BLEND! Put the yogurt in first and frozen things in last so it will mix.
P.S. to make it more filling add a little dry oatmeal (my husband loves it that way)
p.s.s. i stay away from juice in my smoothies because juice just adds lots of sugar.
I think it is the perfect amount of sweetness without it.
If it needs liquid I will add a little milk.

I am not a big fan of weird ingredients. The simpler, the better.
I don't cut food groups out, I like eating food I can just throw together that I have on hand.
These are every day ingredients that are ALWAYS in our fridge.
Probably the easiest recipe ever.
It takes me about 3 minutes to throw together.
In fact, I am drinking it as we speak.
The best part about it- I double the recipe and fill Ryan's sipper cup with this almost every day and he downs it!
Seriously. Obsessed.
I happen to love spinach just eating it as a salad, but this is a great way to get those antioxidants from spinach if you hate it!
Happy Friday!!
