======Berry Smoothie======
=====Ingredients=====
  * bananas
  * blueberries
  * strawberries
  * juice of 1 lemon
  * mixed greens: baby spinach, baby kale, chard
  * chia seeds
  * Lakewood brand mango nectar
      * Available at Whole Foods Market
  * Lakewood brand Pure Pineapple Juice
      * Available at Whole Foods Market
  * Whole Foods Market has a 3 lb. bag of frozen blueberries.

=====Notes=====
  * Some combination of all the ingredients can be frozen. I use frozen bananas, blueberries, strawberries and greens.
  * Using frozen ingredients has two benefits. One, it's easier than keeping fresh food around before it spoils. Two, the fozen fruit makes the smoothie cold without adding ice.
  * If all ingredients are fresh I would freeze the juices into cubes so that the smoothie is cold.
  * Always use quality fruit juices without added sugar, like the Lakewood juices.
  * Before freezing, I cut strawberries in half at an angle to leave the green leaves in place. The leaves are edible and have nutrients, so I put them in the smoothie.
