Blueberry Peach Green Smoothie

Mmmm. This recipe is for a smoothie. I used my BlendTec blender and highly recommend it over any other blender. I have used mine daily and love it. This recipe results in a full wide side blender full so if you have a smaller blender, half this recipe.

3 cups Seedless Red Grapes
1 Banana
2 Peaches with pit removed
6 Strawberries
1/2 cup Blueberries
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach (I keep my large bag from Costco frozen and pull out only what I need)
1 cup Ice

Don't let the color of this smoothie fool you. It tastes great!

Did you know that blueberries reduce inflammation and help stop cancer growth? Strawberries have tons of Vitamin C and they fight cancer. Spinach helps your eyes stay strong with the lutein, is high in anti-oxidants and gives our bodies iron, vitamin C and beta-carotene.

So......drink up to good health:)

Happy Eating!

    1. I usually make smoothies as a meal with some protein like egg whites. ,my kids drink it with breakfast and I do sometimes as well if I want a bigger meal. Most of my smoothies are about 110 calories give or take for 8 ounces.
