"Green" Smoothie

1/15/2014

This title is misleading. The smoothie actually ends up being a weird brown color and I'll explain why in a minute. I call it a green smoothie because it has a lot of greens in it. 

Ingredients:
3 Bananas
Ginger
6 oz. Spinach
6 oz. Kale
1 Beet, Raw
1/4 c. Orange Juice
16 oz Water
1 Sweet Apple
1 Cucumber
Vanilla
Honey
Pinch of Salt

Directions:
  • Blend until drinkable consistency. If it isn't sweet enough for you, toss in another banana. If it is too sweet, add some more ginger. If it isn't runny enough, add more orange juice. Want some more green? Add avocado! The whole thing is really just "to taste". 



Notes:
The reason the smoothie is a weird brown color is because of the beet. You don't have to include it if you don't want to. 


Before we drink it, we add a teaspoon of fish oil (make sure to mix really well) and I add fermented coconut probiotic awesomeness. 


Review:
This is the easiest recipe because it is so changeable. Do you like pineapple? Add some pineapple. Do you like kiwi? Add some kiwi! It was really hard to put this recipe on paper because it is always changing. This was the best I could do. I wrote it down almost an hour after the smoothies had been made. Best of luck! This particular smoothie rates about a 3 for me. It's drinkable and has little gingery bits. The juice that separated... I would drink that all the time. I give the juice a 4. TC gives this a 3.5. 


Total Score:
3.5 (I didn't factor in the juice score)

    I like to cook, bake, and write. My creations are generally not pretty, and messes are a part of my life. Prepare yourself.
