John likes to experiment with our Vitamix. It reminds him of chemistry class. Here is his latest green smoothie creation. We call it Afternoon Boost. Wow!

This is so good, I just have to share it with you.

Instructions

Just place all ingredients into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. 

Then set the Vitamix to the pre-programmed Smoothie setting and start the machine. It will automatically shut off once the cycle is complete.
 
And that’s it. Easy peasy.
 
I hope you enjoy your afternoon boost. I’d love to hear from you. Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe?
