Fruit Basket Smoothie
Fruit Basket Smoothie
Ingredients
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup crushed, cubed, or sliced pineapple
• 1 banana
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon chia or flax seeds
• Ice
Directions
• Combine ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Note: Frozen bananas work best in smoothies. Peel, slice in half, place banana in a large zip-seal bag, and leave in the freezer overnight.
Benefits: Start your day with a healthy blend of your favorite fruits. Strawberries are full of fiber and contain high levels of antioxidants. They make ideal snack foods—low calorie, cholesterol free, fat free, and sodium free. They are also good sources of manganese and potassium. Bananas are rich in nutrients, and pineapples provide the enzyme bromelian, which is an anti-inflammatory that promotes digestive health. Orange juice is a good source of vitamin C, and spinach has an overall high nutrient value.
