    I've been eating a smoothie almost every weekday for breakfast for the past 5 years (since I read Eat To Live). I use a vita-mix. This is my all time favorite.

    Ingredients

    • 1 large apple (braeburn, fuji, gala, etc.), quartered...skin, seeds & all.
    • 1 orange, peeled and quartered
    • 2 cups frozen Mango pieces
    • 1 cup frozen mixed blueberries, blackberries & raspberries
    • 1 scoop vanilla flavored soy protein powder
    • 1 cup vanilla flavored soy milk

    Directions

    1. Put the fresh fruit (I leave just a tad of peel on the orange for flavor) and rest of ingredients in the blender/vita mix
    2. Run on medium, pushing down with an instrument until the mixture is blending
    3. Turn to high and leave for 30-60 seconds
    4. Pour and drink!
    5. A few variations I might recommend. My wife Nancy prefers this without the protein powder. If you don't like Soy, feel free to substitute another protein powder and/or low fat or rice milk. I used to put in some yogurt, but found it added calories without adding much flavor or healthy micro-nutrients. I occasionally throw in a Banana, Peach, Kiwi, or Melon. Tangerines are also a nice, slightly more tart substitute for oranges. Feel free to mix and match...but the basic is still my favorite!

      I like it with the protein powder...but sometimes I substitute yogurt and I like that as well. It is a little bit more tart with the yogurt.

        This is one of best, richest smoothies I've tasted. Easy to make too. Thanks for sharing!

          I've started putting a spoonful of ground flaxseed in this smoothie. It doesn't taste great, but the flavor is masked pretty well by the fruit. So far, the kids have not complained!
