Ingredients
- 1 cup banana frozen, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherries pitted
- 1 orange peeled, deseeded
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp flaxseed
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 Collagen Boost optional
Instructions
- Place bananas, cherries, oranges, spinach, Greek yogurt, flaxseed, and pomegranate juice into a Vitamix blender and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes
- For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
- If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
- Coconut milk or soy milk (with a little extra ice) can be substituted for the Greek yogurt to make this delicious smoothie dairy-free.
