5. My "go to" smoothie/juice...

I use Nutri-Bullet juicers, I have a small earlier model but bought a bigger one with a blender and lots of controls. Both are great for juice/smoothies.

I stack the ingredients, like they did in the photos of the books about juicing and everything you'd ever want to know about it, that came with the first Nutri Bullet.

So the juice stack/recipe is:

10-14 baby spinach leaves or equivalent, kale is good too.
1 small to med. banana cut into chunks
1/4 -1/2 cup blueberries, frozen
" " " raspberries, "
1 small carrot, cut up
1 inch chunk of ginger
2 fl oz pecan pieces/halves

Fluid: 1/2 black cherry juice, 1/2 spring water.

That makes a meal for me. I liked it instead of breakfast before skiing a 15K stint back when I was still skiing. For me, a banana is essential and I won't make a smoothie without one but that's just me. Otherwise, the berry types can change depending on what's available, seeds are good too. Pineapple chunks help for sweetness but usually the natural sugars in all those fruits is sufficient for flavoring unless you get some especially tart berries, in that case I add a tiny spot of maple syrup.
