It is no secret that I have been trying to make some healthier foods for us in this new year. I must admit however, old habits die hard. When I wake up in the morning, I still wanted a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, and was wondering what would give me give me a little perk up in the morning.
I got on the internet and started researching super smoothies. I found the Dr. Oz 3-day detox. While, I don’t think I am wanting to do a full three day detox, the breakfast drink looked delicious and chock full of energy producing ingredients.
I made a few changes to the original recipe which is here, but below I made a few suggestions.
Dr. Oz Breakfast Smoothie
1 cup raspberries (or any other berry you have available)
1 whole banana cut into chunks
1/3 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup almond milk
1 Tbs flax seed (I used ground flax seed)
1 Tbs almond butter
2 Tbs lemon juice
In a blender, add raspberries and blend until pureed. To avoid seeds, you can strain raspberry puree (hey, that sounds like Prince’s Raspberry Beret). Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Garnish with a few berries
Does anyone else have any energy boosting smoothie recipes they want to share?
P.S. If you need a laugh to get this weekend started, I guarantee my latest post on South of I-80 will give you one.

Hi! just found your blog and i love it! Have you tried this smoothie? does it taste good? think i will try this weekend. Stop by and say hello sometime!
Hi Emma! Thanks so much for stopping by here today. Yes, I did try the smoothie, as I do all my recipes. I don't pass anything along that I wouldn't eat myself 🙂 I must admit I did like it better with the raspberry seeds strained, but for most people I don't think it bothers them. Will definitely stop by.
Take care,
Erin
