C & C in the Kitchen - Green Machine

As you know, we're huge smoothie fans here at C &C...i.e. I eat one almost every day for breakfast. And this is one of my go-tos. We'll call it the Green Machine because it's a great way to get your gears going for the day.

1 cup almond milk (if it's too thick add a little more or some water)

1/2 or 1/4 avocado (it's up to you!)

1 tbsp sunflower butter

1 frozen banana (I peel my bananas and put them in a Ziploc bag for easy use)

1/2 cup frozen mango (you can buy organic frozen at both Costco and Trader Joe's)

1 cup greens - mine were frozen power greens (they were on the verge of going bad but were saved by the freezer)

2 dates (I buy an organic bag at Costco)

And another variation....

3/4 cup almond milk

1/4 cup coconut milk

1 tbsp almond butter (or sunflower butter - I use them interchangeably)

1 frozen banana 

1/2 cup frozen mango

1 cup greens

2 dates
