Smoothies are not a new gig in our house. They have always been here, since the Entomologist was an infant. He started drinking "Monkey Milk" when he was about 18 months old. He loves it! As time went on, I started making better smoothies, throwing this and that in, for variety. It wasn't until recently, when a group I am in started discussing RAW diets, and Green Smoothies, that I started adding "other" things. The first "other" consisted of adding raw spinach to our smoothie. Yes, it added a little bit of a bite to it, but really it wasn't bad. The Entomologist loved it! Of course my telling him that all "GREEN POWER RANGERS" drink this to be strong, probably added to his eagerness and delight!

This particular smoothie is most likely my favorite. To make you will need a Magic Bullet, or a blender.

8 Ice Cubes
1 1/2 cup Organic Apple Juice
1/4 bag frozed mixed berries (organic if you can find them)
1 cup Nonfat Vanilla Yogurt (you guessed it, organic if you can)
1 Large Banana
3 large tablespoons Wheat Germ
1/4 cup local honey

Whiz together until nice and smooth. Serve with fresh strawberry for garnish. Find a quiet place and a nice book, and enjoy!!!! (ok, maybe that last part is a stretch!, but you get the point)

Thought I would share with you, and it may soon become your favorite too!
