Peanut Butter Smoothie with Benefits (with Video)

Today I shot/filmed my first "How To Make A Green Smoothie" video and posted it to Youtube.  It was really fun!!  I was a little nervous, but enjoyed every minute of it.  I am in LOVE with making smoothies.  My latest and most nutritious healthy hobby!  This is one of my latest creations and tastes soooo good!  Below is the recipe, and here is the link to my super cool demonstration video ! What is so great about this Smoothie is that it is full of veggies!  So you are going to get a lot of nutrients and the peanut butter nut butter protein is going to fill your body with energy!  As a plus it serves 3.  So when I make them I store the leftovers in the fridge and I am set for 3 rounds of a.m. breakfasts! If you have a Vitamix Blender-you will not have to make this smoothie in steps like I do.  I have your average standard blender-but I create my recipes in baby steps, because the magic my blender can create holds a different capacity.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

It tastes like homemade spiced cake and it reminds me of the Fall and Thanksgiving.  Would you believe it's veggies, fruit and coconut milk? Since joining the program at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition-I have bought a blender.  Through the program at IIN, we get the opportunity to have conference calls with people from all over the world!  It was really cool.  We had specific discussion questions and there would be a few of us (students) on the line discussing the topics.  I got the opportunity to speak to a lovely lady from New Zealand.  Far out!  She told me about juicing and blending.  And I got off the phone that night thinking, why on earth do I not have a blender.  So I jumped onto Kmart.com and bought an Oster Blender.  When blending, I have been told a Vitamix blender rules, but it's a fortune, and I am a gal on a budget, so my $33.00 blender from Oster is just fine.  And I have made a TON of smoothies, and it works great.  **To make this smoothie Dair
