good handful of baby spinach, one carrot (I nuke for texture), 3 large strawberries, handful of blueberries, ~1/3 cup yogurt (or use protein powder), ~1/4 cup tart cherry juice (this is mostly just for flavor)

then: I sometimes add a small handful of cranberries if I have them, a half or whole date soaked in hot water for sugar if berries are too tart. Ice and water, tea, or milk for sake of blender.

all plant matter can be in frozen form for convenience, but some blenders may struggle. I have an Oster retro style that grinds about anything, but it is freaking loud!



add a thumb's worth of nuts or peanut butter if you like, for healthy fat but I just eat them on the side.
