Purple Monster Fruit Smoothie

Purple Monster Fruit Smoothie

This is a great smoothie for breakfast, and sometimes dinner! If you are not fasting or looking for a strict vegetarian smoothie, you can substitute the orange juice with any mix of juices or even an even split of whole milk and plain yogurt.

Notes

The milk and yogurt mixture adds more of a milkshake quality than the juice does.
Avoid soy protein powder, as this is made from unfermented soy and is reportedly very unhealthy for children and the men in our lives. Don't avoid all soy. Fermented soy is reportedly quite good for you.
Very high in vitamin C, low in saturated fat and sodium.
