Smoothies are a wonderful way to start your morning because they are made with fresh fruit and give your body the right kind of sugar to get you going.

1 each Peach
1 cup Water or Juice or Coconut Water

GREEN Smoothie- Papaya-Orange-Banana-Coconut Water-Spinach

I love green smoothies because it is such a great way to get your fruit and vegetables in one serving and it taste great!! I had some papaya left over from a tropical salsa i made the other day, so that was the base for this smoothie.  Fresh coconut water can be found in Asian markets or Wholefoods or you can use cartons of coconut water. Spiach is a mild sweeter green that is less obvious in a smoothie, which makes it perfect for giving to your kids. Give this a try. It makes a delicious on the go breakfast or snack.

2 c Spinach

step 3- Add the spinach and blend for another 30 seconds

GREEN Jalapeno Peach Mango SMOOTHIE- Raw Food Recipe

Nobody likes to waste food, but sometimes you just don't know what to do with it. Well this smoothie is a perfect example. Yesterday i made a batch of jalapeno peach soup and didn't have a chance to enjoy it for dinner, so i thought why not turn it into a green smoothie for breakfast! This is the beautifull thing about eating raw fruts and vegetables, you can turn a soup into a drink and it doesn't sound gross.  I added a fresh mango to the soup to add a little more sweetness to balance out the greens. Feel free to use whatever greens you want or coconut water or orange juice for the water. Perfect way to kick start your day. Enjoy!
