LIQUID INGREDIENTS:

Instructions
- In the VitaMix, add all ingredients in the container and top with water, then ice (start with less, and add more ice if needed as you go). Start at Variable Speed 1 and slowly move to speed 10 as the mixture begins to puree.
- Bring the speed up to ‘High’ and use the tamper to push the frozen ingredients into the blades. Remove the tamper and put the cap back on until the smoothie is… well, smooth!
- Bring the speed down at this point, turn off the VitaMix and you’re done!
- Serve as you would any smoothie and Enjoy!
Notes
Don’t worry if you don’t have these exact ingredients on hand – Just mix & match until you come up with something you love!
