Ingredients
Whole Strawberries, fresh - 3 Cups (stems removed)Large Bananas, fresh* - 3 broken into halvesCanned Pineapple in own juice, no sugar added - 2-3 CupsCanned Peaches in own juice, no sugar added - 2 CupsLarge Carrots, fresh - 3 (not peeled), snap into 2-3 piecesLarge Celery Stalks, fresh - 3 (ends cut off), cut into 2-3 piecesBlackberries, frozen (unsweetened) - 1 Cup unthawedTrader Joe's Toasted Oat Bran - 2/3 to 1 CupApple Juice, unsweetened - 4 fl. oz. (as needed, to sweeten)Truvia Natural Sweetener - 1-3 Tbsp. (as needed, to sweeten)Any other fresh or frozen fruits or veggies you likeNon-fat Vanilla Yogurt, if desired (or preferred flavor)*Regarding bananas & fresh berries: When I have some really sweet, ripe bananas (or berries) that are about to turn, I simply peel (or wash) them and put them in Tupperware or Ziploc baggies. I then throw them in the freezer to use in future smoothies.
Directions
Clean all fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
Cut or break large items into halves or thirds.

*Using fresh bananas that have been removed from peels at the peak of ripeness and then frozen adds an instant cool, refreshing aspect to this smoothie.

Add all ingredients, from softest to hardest if possible, to Vitamix or food processor, and blend on high for 20-30 seconds until well blended. (This recipe makes approx. 64 ounces, so adjust as needed to fit your equipment!)
