Mango Coconut Green Smoothie - The Lemon BowlAs you’ve probably noticed, I rarely make the same smoothie twice in a row. Unlike my husband, I will never be the person that is content eating the same breakfast every single day. That’s what’s great about smoothies – you can mix it up based on what you have on hand, what’s in season and what you need to use up.

In fact, I think our high consumption of smoothies is one of the reasons we have very little food waste in our house.  Any overly ripe fruit is either eaten that day or frozen to be thrown into a smoothie at a later date.

Michigan Blueberries - The Lemon BowlSpeaking of freezer, frozen fruit is your friend when it comes to having everything ready to go for smoothies all winter long. Once we run out of the berries we froze over the summer, we stock up on a large bag of organic frozen berries at Costco all season long.

  3. How did you get your smoothie to have such a beautiful color? Mine turned out to be a light pink. Sure tasted good, but I wanted that pretty color! The only change I made was subbing water for almond milk. My fruit was frozen. Thanks! :)
