I love smoothies! I make them nearly every morning for breakfast and they are so fast and easy to make! And they are very healthy for you which is a big plus! A little over a year ago I bought a Vita-Mix blender and that is what is use to make my smoothies. It is such a neat thing! It pulverizes everything you put in it!
This is one of my favorite smoothie recipes. I basically just throw in whatever fruit I have on hand, some spinach and carrots, ground flax and honey. I didn’t have any spinach this morning, but if this smoothie had it in it would be a little darker in color.
This smoothie has:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 baby carrots
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 clementine oranges
- 1 whole red delishious apple
- 8 large strawberries (frozen)
- 2 whole fresh prunes (not the dried ones. I bought fresh and then froze them)
- 1/2 peach (frozen. I ususally throw in a whole one, but I’m almost out of my frozen stock so I’m rationing!)
- a large drizzle of honey
- 3 scoops (6 T) ground flax
Whiz it all up and enjoy! The flax blends right in and you can’t tell it’s in there. It doesn’t have any texture. Other things I’ll throw in when I have them are: bananas, pineapple, cantelope, blueberries, cranberries, pears, spinach, and there’s probably some I’ve forgotten about!
They are so yummy and SO very healthy for you! This amount makes enough for a large glass for me and two small glasses for Autumn and Summer. It’s so nice to have a bunch of your fruit and veggies eaten and out of the way for the day!

Thanks for sharing the recipe(s)!
I used to prepare smoothies all the time but then the blender broke, and I somehow never managed to get around to buying a replacement. Your post gave me aha-moment – because like you, I love smoothies. I’m gonna buy a blender! Thanks for making my life a little bit healthier
The accompanying picture is very nice, I love the colours and the soft focus.
