Happy Belly Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are awesome.  Loaded with vitamins and minerals, they give you just what you need to to start your day, to nourish you after a work out, or to get you over the afternoon hump.  There are endless combinations of fruits and greens that you can throw together in just minutes.  A regular blender works just fine.  But I have to say that when I got my vitamix, making smoothies became much more fun.  What I like best about high-powered blenders is the velvety-smooth consistency of the smoothie.

Today’s smoothie is the Happy Belly Green Smoothie.  If you have been reading my blog, you know that I am a big fan of nourishing the gut.  About 80% of our immune system is located in our small intestine.  That’s a lot.  So I like to eat as much fermented foods as possible EVERY day to make sure my gut stays happy and healthy.  I added homemade yogurt to this morning’s smoothie for a happy belly. It adds a bit of the necessary fat needed to assimilate some of the nutrients in the smoothie.   It’s a refreshing blend of apple, banana, yogurt, spinach, and date…… enjoy!!!!
