So how about a green smoothies thread?!?


Recommended Posts

I love freshly squeezed orange juice with kale or baby spinach. Simple and sweet- cant taste the greens at all. That is my winter green smoothie.

 

For summer:

frozen banana,

water,

berries (whatever I have on hand- strawberries, rasberries, blueberries) and/or mango if in season,

and kale or baby spinach.

 

I never use dairy in a green smoothie. Blech.

For my basic combination, I use a banana (or two), a large handful of baby spinach, OJ, and frozen fruit (I freeze raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries in season).

 

Occasionally I add canned pineapple with juice (YUM!!) or canned peaches. Sometimes wheat germ or ground flax. Rarely yogurt (if we have a variety no one likes plain) or icecream (for a 'milkshake' treat).

 

I have a vitamix and I've added yellow squash or red cabbage before. If the shakes aren't quite sweet enough, I add something like honey.

 

If I have extra fruit on hand that needs to be used up, I throw it in....
