Scrounged Fruit and Veggie Smoothie

Day 1 and I'm already in love! With my new Vitamix that is. My chef friends have been raving about them for years, and Chris finally agreed that I could have one as a combination anniversary/birthday/Christmas present! 

In simple terms, it's a high powered blender. It requires minimal to no liquid to turn your fruits/veggies into a wonderfully creamy smoothie. I know it can do much more, but I have't played around with it yet.

I had some fruit that's been around a while (still edible, just starting to look a little aged), so it was smoothie time!

Ingredients
soy milk
1 apple, cored and quartered
1 pear, cored and quartered
1 banana, peeled
1 orange, peeled
2 big handfuls baby spinach

Instructions
-Place the apple, pear, banana orange and spinach into the blender. Add a splash of soy milk. Blend until desired consistency is reached.
-If you don't have a Vitamix, you'll probably want to rough chop your hard fruits and add more liquids to help your blender get going.
-This made enough for 2 big grown up servings and one small toddler serving.

Someone loved their smoothie!
