Preparation
Step 1
In a high-speed blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve immediately and enjoy a burst of energy any time of the day!
Tips: It's easy to make a double batch and refrigerate the leftovers in a jar for the next day. Or, prepare the smoothie at night and store it in the fridge for the next morning. Sometimes I do this if time is tight in the morning or if I have sleeping houseguests around. No one likes to be woken up by a Vitamix, my cat included.
