If it wasn’t for the smoothie, I’m not sure if I would be able to get through My 12 Week Fitness Challenge.
Every morning, one of our rituals is to prepare a smoothie for our mid morning meal. Here’s what goes into our smoothie:
Frozen Berries, tons of frozen spinach, 1 banana, flax oil, protein powder and a touch of orange juice.
All the ingredients that go into a Village Guru smoothie!
If you’re looking at making smoothies a part of your diet, I highly suggest getting a heavy duty blender. We use a Blendtec and love it! I’ve also heard that Vitamix blenders are even better. A good blender will run you $300 to $600 but it’s well worth it. We’ve been using ours for 3 years now with no problems at all.
Here’s is what the smoothy looks like before being blended in our Blendtec blender. The blender also doubles as a daiquiri maker in the summer.
Wala, the final product!
My smoothie!
Just the touch to get me going in the morning!

[…] This blender is our workhorse, and worth every penny of the $350 we spent. I know it’s a bit on the pricey side, but if you’re serious about smoothies and use your blender daily, it’s cheaper in the long run to go for quality. If you go for a cheaper $100 blender don’t be surprised if the motor burns out after a few months. The Blendtec makes a mean smoothie! […]
