There's nothing better than starting the day with fresh POWER Fruits & Veggies. Here's a simple recipe to put some zing into your morning (or afternoon snack!). Inspired by The Plumeria Café (featured in my new novel, "Lady in the Window," in bookstores May 9, 2017, from SelectBooks @ Barnes & Noble: bit.ly/2lOIotS OR AMAZON: amzn.to/2lGyND3). It's full of vitamins and nutrients!

SIMPLE FRUIT & VEGGIE SMOOTHIE
Ingredients:
2 c. unsweetened almond or coconut milk
2 c. blend of fresh fruit (your preference)
few dashes pumpkin pie spice
1 frozen banana
1 or 2 scoops of your favorite protein powder
1-2 c. power greens (mix of spinach, kale, chard, broccoli leaves, etc)
1 c. ice cubes
1 tsp. peanut butter (optional, but it does make it yummy!)
Preparation:
Blend all the above ingredients together in a blender (I use Montel William's HealthMaster). To make the smoothie thicker, add more ice. To make it smoother, add more almond milk or a bit of water.
Notes:
The great thing about making a smoothie is you can change the ingredients (adding just the fruits or veggies you like)...to change the taste, add a bit of honey (a natural antibiotic!) or some peanut butter.
