Smoothies to delight you!

Everyone is doing juicing and smoothies it seems so I thought I'd add a few recipes plus a few suggestions for supplements to add to those. My main belief is that they should taste yummy and be full of nutrients. No point forcing yourself to drink things that are unpleasant!  I have my own breakfast cereal too which I've included in the recipes.
 
Tricia's breakfast booster:
1 cup organic oats
1 tspn pumpkin seeds*
1 tspn sunflower seeds*
1 tbspn chia seeds*
1 tspn ground flax seeds*
a few organic cranberries
3-4 brazil nuts ground with 1 large date
a few hazenuts
some coconut flakes and dessicated coconut to taste
7-10 almonds ground and with water added for almond milk
1/2 tspn raw cacao powder
1 tspn maca or lacuma powder
* these amounts are roughly right. I tend to make up a batch and just add the 'almond milk' concoction fresh each day.
leave it to soak for 20 mins before eating. it's delicious and fills you up!
