Smoothies

Tart Cherry Açaí Smoothie

I had recently ordered a bunch of frozen smoothies from a well known company, hoping to find these amazing flavors that put my cravings to an abrupt halt, like fresh fig and peach. Unfortunately, only 3 flavors awakened my taste buds and needless to say, I personally, will never try a smoothie with cauliflower in it ever again so long as I can help it. But, there was one specific flavor that I loved. It was similar to my recipe with a few twists and changes. I have a ton of new health powders in the pantry and am always looking for new ways to utilize them. This is one of the best.

1 2/3 c orange juice
1 1/2 c frozen cherry, berry medley mix
1/4 c frozen Spinach
3 frozen banana slices (about 1/3 banana)
1 tsp açaí maqui bowl mix

Add all of the ingredients to your blender and puré until smooth.
