Simply Smoothies - An Overview

So, for the last couple of months, I've been experimenting with making homemade, fresh, smoothies for breakfast. I've become very serious about them, have been researching more and more smoothies and such, and finally broke down and spent a whopping $500 on a VitaMix. It's a hell of an expensive purchase, but so far in the last 5 days, has proven to be all it touts itself to be and therefore worth the price. My husband keeps teasing me about being so excited over a blender, but really, is a VitaMix just a blender? LOL It's so much more!!! I'm going to start on here posting about my smoothies, recipes, tastes, reviews, etc. A lot of these recipes are ones I'm making up as I go - several are ones I've gotten from elsewhere. If a recipe is one I've gotten from elsewhere, and know where I got the recipe, I will be sure to link back to that recipe. DISCLAIMER: I want to make it known that I am not doing this to lose weight. While yes, I do have quite a bit of weight to lose, it is not my goal of this smoothie adventure. My goal is simply to start the process, using baby steps, of eating healthier, making sure I'm getting at least my daily value of fruits and vegetables (if not a lot more!), and originally to work breakfasts back into my diet. They're super easy to make, super easy to get vegetables into (not just fruits!), and the whole family likes them.
