Okay, here’s the deal.  I’ve been up and out of the house every day this week by 6:30, and I haven’t arrived home even once before 10 p.m.  But, lucky for me, the refrigerator has a few goodies, including almond milk, berries and spinach, and so here is what I’m going to make for breakfast tomorrow morning.  The freezer in my house usually has a few overripe bananas — that’s where I put them when they turn too dark to eat.  Remember to peel them before you freeze them; it makes it easier when you feel like a smoothie.

1 orange, peeled

1/2 cup blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries

6 strawberries

3 generous handfuls of baby spinach

2 cups ice 

Add the ingredients to your Vitamix or other high-speed blender in the order listed above.  Spin for 30 seconds or until well blended, and then drink up.  Can’t wait til morning!
