If you're a member of weight watchers, you'll know that your body processes mashed fruit differently than whole fruit that you have to chew up rather than drink. You'll be taking points for this recipe, but my breakfast smoothie is something that I rarely go without. It's my breakfast on the go for my office job. I often am up by 4:30AM to get ready, so this is my treat to myself and keeps me full until lunchtime.

Check your local Aldi for the Super Fruit Juice. It's organic, and half the price that I've found in larger chain food stores. You'll be spending $3 vs $7 for the same juice with the varying store brand organic label.

The mixed fruit I combined for the photos is a mix of Trader Joe's organic Wild Blueberries, and Wellsley Farms Organic Tropical Blend, which is a mix of Pineapple, Mango and Strawberries. I then add a banana, wedge of lemon (without the skin), some honey, carrot...really whatever I'm feeling like that morning and blend it together with water. I only add ice if I'm using fresh fruit. I prefer frozen fruit as it tends to be creamier once blended.

I have a Ninja Blender and the individual smoothie cup attachments. I typically make one serving, which is a 16oz smoothie cup. This recipe can be varied to your tastes and needs. Experiment and have fun with it!


DIRECTIONS:

• Combine ingredients into your 16oz Ninja cup, or your brand blender.
• Add water to frozen fruit mixture.
• Add ice if fresh fruit mixture.
• Pour and enjoy!
