As with all of my Vita-Mix smoothies, throw all of the ingredients in, turn to speed 10, then high, then enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups plain rice milk
• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup shelled walnuts

Here’s another great healthy breakfast smoothie.

Ingredients:

I have a green smoothie every morning for breakfast, so I will be blogging about all of the really good ones. This smoothie has a nice texture and is just sweet enough to make you completely forget how many servings of fruits and veggies you are getting in one drink. If you’re not into this for a morning smoothie, enjoy it as a healthy lunch smoothie.

Ingredients:

• 2 kiwis
• 1 apple
• 1 stalk celery
• 1/2 green pepper
• 1/2 head of green leaf lettuce
• a handful of parsley
• 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
• 1.5 cups cold water

After cooking for a couple hours after working all day, I didn’t feel like baking brownies or making a proper dessert. Vita-Mix to the rescue!

I put in one ripe banana, 1 cup vanilla rice milk, 1 oz unsweetened chocolate, broken, and mixed that on speed 10 for a minute. Then, added a splash of heavy whipping cream, on to speed 10 again, and there you have it- a Smooth Chocolate Dream dessert in 2 minutes.
