If you follow me over on Instagram, you know one of the gifts Tim and I were most excited about this past Christmas is our Vitamix. We've been testing out various smoothie recipes, some we like, some we still need to refine ;) So today I wanted to share 3 of my favorite recipes so far. There's nothing better than a good smoothie, don't you think?

1. Leafy Greens Smoothie

This is one of my all-time favorite combos because of its simplicity and perfect balance between sweet and salty. Here's what you'll need:

3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
1 banana
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale and chard mix
3-4 ice cubes

2. Berry Green Smoothie

This one might not look like much, but the combo between leafy greens and berries makes it taste absolutely amazing! Here's what you'll need:

1/2 cup strawberries
Handful of raspberries (I didn't measure this, but 1/2 cup is probably about right)
1 banana
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup almond milk
3-4 ice cubes

3. Mighty Mango Smoothie

This mango smoothie is amazing! It ended up with a thicker texture, so it might also be good served like an acai bowl with berries and coconut flakes on top (as I'm writing this, I'm planning my next trip to the grocery store to buy coconut flakes - yum!). Here's what you'll need:

2 tablespoons Chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup almond milk
1/2-2/3 chopped mango

When I was making these yesterday, beautiful, fluffy snow was falling almost all day. It made me feel a little silly making ice-cold smoothies, but they were certainly a delicious treat, even in the below-freezing temps ;)
