If you have been reading this blog for a while, you may recall that I bought a Nutribullet last year and absolutely loved it. Well, I am happy to report that I still love my Nutribullet and have actually teamed up with the Nutribullet company to bring you more smoothie recipes & photos! You can imagine how happy I was to be contacted by a company whose products I already use and love! So, I am here today to share with you a new recipe that I concocted and I hope you enjoy it!

While I already owned the classic Nutribullet, I was quite surprised to come home one evening to find a brand new 900 Series Nutribullet on my door step! The 900 Series is more powerful than the classic model and comes with a bigger blending cup, plus an extra blade set for your convenience (which is a definite bonus for me!). So far, the 900 Series has been a game changer! Though I adore my classic model too (that happily lives at Dai's house now), I would sometimes have to be strategic about the way I packed my smoothie contents into the cup. The 900 Series has no problems blending up whatever I put in there with a breeze!

With most smoothies that I make, I have a sort of formula that I follow. There are usually a nice heaping amount of greens, a variety of fruit, and a liquid (generally almond milk). If I am feeling fancy, I will add some chia or flax seeds. And that's about it!

I prefer to keep my smoothies fairly simple, BUT I have always been intrigued by the line of SuperFood mix-ins that Nutribullet has developed. There are so many to choose from and I find many of them interesting, so I was very pleased when I received this package of SuperFood Super Reds mix! It is a nice blend of powerful antioxidants from berries and red fruits, and is organic and non GMO.

When constructing my smoothies, I usually place the greens and non-frozen fruit in the bottom of the cup, and work my way up to harder things, like frozen fruit or nuts if I choose to add them. I definitely recommend this method because 1) it can be tricky to screw the blade lid on if the greens are on top and 2) I think that things blend nicer when the harder ingredients are closer to the blade.

I thought that the Super Reds blend would be a nice boost to my smoothie since I did not happen to have any red fruit on hand. It is great to be able to supplement a powder like this instead for extra antioxidants and health benefits! It would definitely be great in addition to red fruit too :)

Then, I top with chia seeds and add some almond milk! You can definitely use a different liquid if you prefer, like coconut milk, regular milk, or coconut water. Other seeds or nuts would also be a great addition for some healthy fats.

Once your bullet cup is packed, screw on the blade lid, and blend it up! Your smoothie will be ready in just seconds! It's like magic ;)

The finished, yummy product! Pour it in a cup and add a straw or use the to-go pop top lid that comes with the 900 Series set, and you're good to go!

I love smoothies as a nice on the go breakfast, a quick lunch, or a refreshing afternoon snack! I feel especially good about this choice when I know that my smoothie is filled with healthy nutrients that are good for my body.
I hope you enjoy this smoothie recipe!
