"An antioxident rich, immune system booster and super wake up smoothie juice for your mornings or anytime. Carrots, blueberries, honey, spinach and pumpkins are listed as super foods. This is a great smoothie or juice. The frozen berries make it more a smoothie than a juice and if you add ice cubes and crush through the blender or juicer it really becomes a treat. I made this with both strawberries and blueberries and enjoyed it . I also have made this with apples instead of the berries and it tastes just a good. The carrots are a natural sweetener as is the honey so sugars are not needed. When you feel sluggish or need a pick me up from weariness of bug fighting this is a great concoction to boost you and your fighting system. Made for RSC #13"

Wanted to try something healthy so I made as directed. My rating is the average of 5 stars for healthy ingredients, 4 stars for presentation, and 3 for flavor. This is a recipe I'd turn to if I needed a healthy nutritional boost! Thanks, Chef1MOM! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap 40.

Used all the indicated ingredients (including the blueberries) when making this recipe & was pleasantly surprised at how well they all came together ~ I'm not usually one to use frozen spinach in anything, but it definitely worked here! One thing I did do, though, was to steam the carrots so they'd more easily puree along with everything else! Thanks for a great drink!

<img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /> I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile!  We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives.  We are so proud of them! I want to say THANK YOU  <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing />  to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg border=0 alt=Image /> <img
