Recipe by: Miriam Borys Busby

Yield: 3 - 4 smoothies 

fresh squeezed orange juice picked from Linda's tree in her back yard

1/4  of a large fresh papaya (about 3 cups)

1 cup blueberries

2/3 cup of fresh pineapple

1 tbsp. Miriam’s  'keep it regular' mixture (please see recipe below)

1/2 - 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (fresh is better but bought orange juice will work)

1 cup water

1/4 cup yogurt

Prepare all fresh fruit and cut up into large chunks.

Add all ingredients above into a blender and puree.

Pour into glasses and serve fresh.

'Keep it Regular'  Mixture     Chia seeds, hemp seeds, and flaxseeds (ground) together provide alot of nutrition including omega-3 fatty acids (click here to read more on these seeds) but help keep the bowels regular. Mix an equal portion of each of the 3 seeds in a air tight container. Close the lid and shake to evenly distribute. Add 1 tbsp. (or more) to your smoothie in the morning.
