Vitamin booster smoothie

This smoothie is REALLY yummy. The alfalfa sprouts stand out the very most to me in flavor, but I like them so, therefore it is good. What's so nice about this smoothie is my kids like it as well. I find that you can hide things in smoothies that your kids won't eat, but are good for them and they end up loving the smoothie.

Vitamin booster smoothie

1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts

1/4 cup frozen strawberries

1/4 cup frozen mixed berries

1/4 cup frozen mango (I didn't add the mango because I didn't have any and it was still yummy)

1 tsp flax oil (I was out of oil so I just ground up some flaxseeds and added them)

1 scoop Whey protein powder, vanilla or unflavored

1 Tbsp agave nectar or organic honey

1 cup cold water

Puree all ingredients.

Found this in The Eat-Clean Diet cookbook by Tosca Reno pg 37

Not sure what to call it.

I've seen the Dr. Oz show a few times and I've heard about his "green drink" I was wondering what was in it. I found a recipe online (of course I can't find the website now) that is somewhat like his (no juicer needed). I whipped it up and it wasn't the best smoothie, but it wasn't the worst either. I have made a few time and I think it gets better with each time. I suggest playing with it and making it to suit your pallet. I also cut the recipe in half so there wasn't so much. When I had it as a snack it made me fill full for a long time, more time then I thought it would.
