Spring is coming! I know it! We're getting a few sunny days in between the rain here in Vancouver. So sometimes I can take my pictures outside. Yay! I really love pineapple and raspberries in smoothies, I think they make almost as good of a combination as pineapple and black cherries. This is a smoothie I regularly make as it has creaminess from the bananas, the tartness from raspberries, and a tropical pineapple twist to it. As long as you're using fully ripe, spotted bananas as the base you can pretty much throw any frozen fruit into the blender…80/10/10 Recipe: Raw Cherry Blaster Smoothie

Winter time can be a little harder to get a wide variety of fresh ripe fruit. So this is an easy staple that you can add to your breakfast regime. Just make sure you are using fresh squeezed orange juice (home-made is best) and ripe bananas (that are very speckled and sweet). An unripe banana or sour oranges can really ruin your smoothie, so make sure you use quality ingredients that taste good on their own first. If you find that you are feeling cold in the winter months, make sure you take your fruit OUT of the refrigerator before…Low Fat Raw Vegan Green Smoothie with Grapes, Celery and Spinach

Sometimes people ask me, "Can I put vegetables into my fruit smoothies?". And I say "Well that depends". I wouldn't necessarily tell a novice that they should try broccoli or carrots in a smoothie, because those vegetables are pretty hard to blend and you may not like it. Same goes for beets. Don't just toss them into your blender (unless you have a really high powered one and like a gritty chewy smoothie). So instead I recommend for those wanting to up the nutrition of their fruit smoothies that you juice some veggies like carrots or beets and use that…80/10/10 Recipe: Beginner’s Green Smoothie Banana Blueberry Spinach
