Good Morning Smoothie

Here is a quick and easy smoothie recipe that will leave you full and satisfied.  It is packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats.  See bottom of this post for nutritional information.

With only a few ingredients you can have it whipped up in no time.  
It's not the most colorful smoothie, but it tastes delicious!
I apologize for my food photography.  I have some lighting issues and more than a few things to figure out.  I will be working on that and hope to improve in time.

Recipe

1 1/4 C water or other liquid
1 medium banana
8 strawberries
1 C pineapple chunks
1/4 of an avocado
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1 c ice

I consider this a single serve recipe, but for some it might serve 2. :)
