They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Now that summer is coming to a close and school is gearing up to start it's the perfect time to power you're little learners and yourself with a power smoothie.  My dad is a religious green smoothie maker and since we recently moved closer, he's got me and my kids hooked on green smoothies too.  Yes, my kids LOVE this and look forward to their green smoothie every morning.  Even my 2 year old asks for her "dreen smoovie".   My dad likes to add carrots, broccoli and dried cranberries to his. Make yours with as many veggies and fruit as you like, but this is how I put mine together for a nice smooth smoothie...

1 banana
1 apple, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp. ground flax seed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries
1-2 handfuls fresh spinach, washed
1/2 cup water

Blend everything together, starting with the banana, apple, berries and water first then add the spinach, cinnamon and flax.  Blend until smooth. Yummy!


Enjoy!
