- 1 cup fresh fruit or fruit/vegetable puree
- 1 cup frozen fruit
Additions to YOUR taste
- 1 cup lightly packed leafy greens
- ¼ cup old fashioned or quick oats
- 2 Tablespoons citrus juice

- 1 Tablespoon nut butter
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
- ¼-½ teaspoon flavor extract
- ¼ teaspoon spices
- 6-8 ice cubes
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and puree. If using oats and your blender isn't the strongest, consider blending them first before adding the other ingredients. Enjoy!
Notes
If you want a creamier smoothie, choose creamy fresh fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and avocados (yes, avocados are a fruit!).
Adding more ingredients will thicken the smoothie. Thin as needed to desired consistency.
If adding instant coffee powder, use bananas as the fruit for best flavor.
If adding citrus, use 100% juice as the liquid base.
