Good-4-U Smoothie

Strawberry-Nana-Flax Green Smoothie
I just wanted to share my new favorite breakfast smoothie with you.
I love Green Smoothies. I drink one almost daily for breakfast. Green Smoothies are very filling and I get to consume a green leafy that I probably otherwise would not eat during the day.

Lately I've been trying to add more flax seed into my diet.  Flax seed is very, very good for us. (I'll write a post about flax seed and its benefits in the near future.)
 
Strawberry-Nana-Flax Green Smoothie
Ingredients:
2 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen strawberries
2 handfuls of spinach
2 - 4 Tbs flaxseed meal
2 cups almond milk

Preparation:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the smoothie in a glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry and a sprinkle of flaxseed meal.
Drink up & Enjoy!

Notes:
Add extra water or nut milk if needed.
Add some ice if you do not have any frozen fruit or if you want a colder smoothie.
Substitute strawberries and/or spinach with other berries and green leafies.
