Mango Cherry Smoothie

To change up things a little I like to have smoothies in place of oats once in a while!

1 cup of water or almond milk
2 to 3 tbs Whole Nectar Protein Powder* (or protein powder of your choice)
1 to 2 tbs whole flaxseed
1 tbs almond butter
1 tbs flax oil
1/4 cup fresh mango
1/4 cup frozen cherries
1 tps maca powder**
2 basil leaves or peppermint for garnish


Blend all ingredients in your vitamix or blender in the order listed, if using a blender and ingredients become to thick you can add more water or almond milk. Pour in a glass and garnish with basil or peppermint.

*I like Whole Nectar Protein Powder because it is non dairy, no gluten/wheat, no yeast, no egg, no animal products.  It also does not really have a flavor so it takes on the flavor of the fruit you use.  You can buy it at Costco when the Vitamix demo's are being held or online at http://www.wholenectar.com/

** If your new to Maca Powder start off with 1/4 tsp and work your way up

Enjoy!!!!!
