Kais Simple Morning Smoothie

My son Kai came home last night for a bit of r & r, needing to get out of LA and get a whiff of the sweet scent of home. Here in Ojai the orange blossoms are in bloom, seducing the air with their rich fragrant smell. I asked what he wanted to eat, and he said a "home cooked meal" anything.....meaning if I made the food, he would be happy. So I made meal fit for my young king last night, and this morning he wanted me to make his smoothie, cuz mine are richer and creamier than the ones he makes. I think he is really after my vita mix.....he just has an Oster blender, heck, he is only 17 and has only been away from home a couple of months!

Heres the smoothie I made for Kai this morning:

1 frozen banana

1/2 C papaya

1 C strawberries

1 T ground flax seeds

1 T raw almond butter

1 scoop Living Fuel Protein Powder

2-3 C Water to blend

This smoothie was thick and creamy, pink orange in color, semi sweet, and quite filling but mostly satisfying to the soul, I think its the love that makes my smoothies so appealing to him!
