Start your day with this delicious smoothie...

You can purchase organic fruit in the frozen fruit section of your favorite grocery store. Keep organic strawberries, raspberries and blueberries on hand for a quick meal any time of day. Thaw them in a large container in their own juice and store in the refrigerator. Thawed fruit makes a more flavorful smoothie to start your day.

In a blender, combine:

• 1 cup almond milk or vanilla soy milk
• 1 cup organic berries
• 1 cup Greek strawberry yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon ground Chia seed or ground flaxseed (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chunky peanut butter
• Ice
• ½ cup cold water

Blend well. This recipe makes 2 servings so pour the other ½ into a thermos to take with you to the beach or store in the refrigerator for an afternoon meal.
