One simple way to get your veggies…Start your day with a delicious green smoothie!
This is my “Go To” green smoothie I lean towards through out the year. It’s easy and quick to make and all of the ingredients are easy to find at most supermarkets. For those of you who aren’t too fond of your greens, I have another sneaky way to prepare. Either way, your ensured to get your greens in! See below for both instructions. Enjoy!
Serves 2 - 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup organic baby spinach, firmly packed
2 organic kale leaves, stems removed
1 medium to large ripe banana
1 orange or 2 small clementines, pealed
2-3 cups frozen organic strawberries
1 cup frozen organic pineapple
2 tablespoons organic flax seed oil
1/2 cup unsweetened cashew milk
2-2 1/2 cups filtered water
In a high speed blender, combine all ingredients in the order above, and blend until smooth. Add more or less water to reach the consistency your prefer.
My Sneaky Way To Get Those Greens In…Shhh: In a high speed blender combine all the ingredients but omit the greens and blend until smooth. Pour 1/2 - 1/3 of the blended smoothie into glasses to serve. Then add the greens to the remaining smoothie in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the remaining blended (now green) smoothie into separate glasses and down the green smoothie first, then follow up with your sweet strawberry smoothie! Viola! Greens in with little distaste!
