peachy keen smoothie

there are some morning when i wake up and all i want is coffee.  on morning like this i am so thankful that i've gotten m so addicted to smoothies.  he always insists that we start the day with a smoothie and he swears by it being the first thing to hit the stomach, so we start the day off right.  i had one of those mornings recently and m came to the rescue with this beauty of a concoction.  it was a winner and just what i needed to get going.

yep, i think i'll keep him.
 

here's what went into it if you want to make it yourself have someone make it for you too.
and before you say anything, i realize that this smoothie is maybe inappropriately named given that there isn't a peach in sight in the ingredient list, but come on - look at that colour!  i just couldnt' help myself with the cutesy name.  

peachy keen smoothie
serves 2
1 banana
1/2 cup frozen mango
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
2 big stalks of celery
1 cup almond milk
1/3 cup apricot juice
1 teaspoon maca root powder

add everything into a blender and blend away!

on mornings such as this i'm also thankful that m's smoothie making abilities have significantly improved over the past year (cause who's kidding who, there were some totally bizarre ones in there too!)

what about you, do you have a tried and tested way to start your day?
