Guava Berry Smoothie

I can’t even believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted a smoothie recipe.  I blame the changing seasons that made me crave homemade bread and other baked goods and warming soups and curries. 

I’m apparently not the only one who’s been craving less-than-healthy goodies.  Preston realized this weekend that his unhealthy cravings have been getting out of hand, and the days of smoothies and salads and lighter meals need to come back, at least a little. 

Of course I agreed, but I was already missing imagined muffins and buttery toast as we picked out frozen fruit for our smoothies.  But when I got out my poor underused blender and went through the oh-so-familiar motions of making a smoothie, I was so happy. 

Plus you really can’t beat eating a light breakfast and feeling great all day.
serves 2
1 1/2 C frozen mixed berries
1/3 C guava strawberry juice concentrate
3 C water
2 scoops (1 serving) vanilla protein powder (I used soy, but anything would work)
1 1/2 C frozen spinach
*I also added a couple teaspoons of MSM, a supplement that helps with my achy stupid knees! It’s like a vegan version of glucosamine if you’re looking for something like that 🙂
Blend juice concentrate, water, and spinach together first if you don’t have a high-powered blender.  Make sure you blend until the spinach is completely incorporated.  Then add everything else and blend away.  

Alright, this is a far superior breakfast to buttery toast or a muffin.  DE-licious, and just check out these nutrition facts.  During the winter, make sure you curl up under a blanket before drinking it, though 🙂
