happy healthy new year and a lime green smoothie

Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu (happy new year)!

We're well into our second month of green smoothies and we're feeling re-energized and recharged in the new year.

Here's my latest Mamatouille made-up concoction - just blend fresh lime juice, fresh pineapple, clementines, honey, spinach, carrots, grapefruit juice, banana, flaxseed meal, and wheat germ. Zesty and refreshing!

I make at least one batch of green smoothie every day and it's usually gone in a matter of minutes. And every time it's a different blend, just using whatever I have on hand.

Have a gander at concoctions I've blended in the past:

• goya pineapple smoothie (when we were living in Japan and had access to goya)
• green smoothie intro
• Mexican breakfast cactus smoothie

If you've got little beans in your household, I guarantee you they will hoover this stuff down - and using a straw makes it even more fun!
