It’s Friday, so that means it’s clear-out-the-leftover-produce-from-the-fridge day. I typically shop for groceries on Sunday so by the time Friday rolls around, the produce is starting to wilt, droop and soften, making it a perfect opportunity to get creative and make a new breakfast smoothie so the wilting fruits and veggies don’t go to waste.

If you have a blender and/or a juicer, you should never throw your produce out. Unless it’s moldy, black and smelly, there is always a chance to add it to a juice or a smoothie to get its nutrients. Sometimes I even juice just the leftover cucumbers so I get them in my body in some way. It’s light and refreshing, and no it’s not my favorite juice, but I feel better about drinking it then putting the cucumbers in the trash.

This morning, the smoothie I made was a combo of leftovers, superfoods that are long-lasting staples in my pantry, and a few other goodies that made it tasty. It was a super balanced meal filled with protein, healthy fats and greens.
