I've gotten a few responses to my green smoothies. My sister thinks I'm nuts. My mom likes them. Some friends also make them. I think they are amazing! I actually start to crave them if I go a long time without one.
The idea behind a green smoothie is to use green veggies as the base of your smoothie. Fruit can be added to sweeten the taste. I add a little bit of kefir as well.
I make all sorts and I don't really follow a recipe. Whatever happens to be in the fridge is what goes into my smoothie. Here is this morning's smoothie:
Don't the colors look pretty? I started with some cucumber, then added three big strawberries. Next, I chopped up a banana and then added several handfuls of baby spinach leaves. I poured a little raspberry kefir (or yogurt) on top, added a bit of water, and blended it together.
I know some people are put off by the green color, but it tastes delicious! I actually love the brilliant green. I prefer to use baby spinach, but I have some friends who use kale. The baby spinach tastes a little sweeter to me. If you haven't made one before, you should really get out your blender and try it!
