Morning Smoothie! Yay!

Since October when my husband (38yrs old) had a minor stroke, I have been forcefully trying to get him to eat fruits and veggies. This is no small feat, as left to his own devices he would eat 4 chicken patties with melted cheese and cheese fries for every meal.

He finally agreed to a morning fruit smoothie. So each morning, I make him one ( I do this only because if I didn't he wouldn't).  I started having one too. I usually use frozen fruit and 100% juice like V8 Frusion (except I buy Aldi brand) plus protein powder. Sometimes we even add in superfoods powder (his idea, not mine. I can barely choke the stuff down most days).

This other morning I had some Trader Joe's Orange Peach Mango juice left over from sunday morning mimosas, so I used that.

I added 5 frozen strawberries from Aldis (love that store because it is cheap)

a scoop of my favorite protein powder:

Then threw in a spoonful of some milled flax seed.

Swirled it up in my handy rocket blender.

It was delicious! One of my favorites so far!  

This is not my actual smoothie, just a pic that looked like mine. My camera is on a hiatus after I deleted all my sister's wedding pics! Need a new memory card so I can see if the wedding pics are there somewhere! Here is one the photographer took that I really like:

Enjoy a morning smoothie ya'll!
