I got a set as a wedding gift (it was about $100 when I registered for it) and it has a super powerful motor and has a blender pitcher, and 2 food processing type pitchers. My favorite lately has been a blueberry, kale, and coconut water smoothie. I also love a spinach, peanut butter, yogurt, and almond milk smoothie. Can't even taste the spinach! mmmm I LOVE my Kitchen Ninja.

Why not just pick a few things out the fruit bowl?  Why frozen fruit? Why not just pick a few things out the fruit bowl?

Tonight I will buy the frozen fruit - thanks for the tips! I am a terrible morning person who usually skips breakfast – one of my resolutions this year is to get a decent one in every day.

Downing a calory packed shake it very satisfying in terms of saving time and bringing up your nutrition score. Some Whey Protein, a banana, whole milk, strawberries and a handful of frozen fruit makes for a tasty achievement.

I have a 10 year old who often BEGS for an apple / carrot / spinach / kale mixture. It really is delicious - I mean, come on. What child is into greens? :D I can't speak for smoothies, but I know that when you juice greens, you don't really taste them.
