Ever since we moved into our new home in Manila, my Vitamix Blender has seen plenty of action. Smoothies are my favorite breakfast at the moment and I enjoy trying out different concoctions with local fruits, greens and superfoods such as moringa. The trick to a good breakfast smoothie is to make sure it contains plenty of fiber, protein and healthy fats so that it makes you feel full longer.
This breakfast smoothie is a true green goddess. It floods your system with vitamins and minerals. It is nourishing, energizing, and detoxifying and it tastes super refreshing.
