I'm going to show you the basic recipe I used for my raw breakfast smoothies. Each day, the recipe varied a bit to accommodate the ingredients that were in my kitchen. Also, I used a normal blender. I don't have a fancy juicer, food processor or anything like that.
Raw Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
1 Banana (Feel free to store it in the freezer for a few hours for a colder smoothie)
1 Scoop Chia Seeds
Small handful of raw organic cashews
Small Handful of raw organic sunflower seeds
1 Tablespoon of raw organic coconut oil (I used Nutiva Brand)
3 Ice Cubes
1 Leaf of kale, finely chopped (I removed the stem)
Almond Milk (I didn't measure, but probably used about 1/4 cup)

I thoroughly enjoyed my smoothie every morning. It was satisfying knowing I was getting some good fruits, veggies, healthy fats and some protein to start my day. A lot of these ingredients were featured on my ' Top Smoothie Ingredients' blog post. Check it out if you are looking for more smoothie ideas. Not all of the ingredients listed in that post are raw however.
I forgot to take the picture of the smoothie before I took my first sip. This image gives you a better idea of the consistency.
