Groovy Purple Smoovy

I got lazy last night and fed myself and the boys Domino's pizza. It was oh-so-good, but OH-SO-BAD for us!

I felt the need for recovery today. Plus, Husband bought me the Kitchen Ninja for Christmas, so it's time I learned how to use it. Smoothie time!

Groovy Purple Smoovy (NOT a "diet" drink...it is HIGH in GOOD fats!):

Organic Fresh Baby Spinach (couple of handfuls?)
Bag of Frozen Organic Mixed Berries
2 tbsp ground Flax Seed with  dried berries
A little bit of Nettles tea
4 tbsp. Organic Peanut Butter
1 banana

***Organic Chocolate Syrup to taste as our sweetener.

I rarely use exact measurements. I blend, then open and dip my finger in for taste (watch the blades!), adding a little more of this and that until it is sufficiently YUMMO.

My boys and I guzzled these down, and here's what we got (in no particular order) ((Please Google to define if you are not too lazy...I did my share of doing homework for others with the stupid men in my engineering classes in college)).......

By the way, I LOVE the Kitchen Ninja. Thanks honey!
