Monday thru Friday Smoothie Recipe

I am on week #3 of having "green" smoothies for breakfast Monday through Friday.  On the weekends, I need a break and go with an egg or a bowl of cereal.  It is crazy when a bowl of rice kris pies with some raisins feels like an indulgence!  I have come up with two favorite recipes that I have been switching between.  The key to getting a smooth smoothie - is to put in the greens and the liquid first.  Blend those until smooth before adding the frozen fruit.  I add the chia seeds straight to my glass so they don't get stuck in the blender.  

Green Smoothie #1

1 1/2 cup almond milk

1-2 cups spinach

1 frozen banana

1 cup frozen mango

1/2 avocado

1 tablespoon chia seeds
