What's in Today's Smoothie?

Good morning folks!
It had been a while since I’ve highlighted my favorite breakfast – the green smoothie – so I thought I’d let you know some of what I’ve been tossing in the blender as of late…
Today’s Recipe:
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries
  • 1 Peach
  • 1/2 Banana
  • 1 1/2 cups baby Spinach
  • 2 Tbsp. Chia seeds
