Here is a basic recipe for a green smoothie - you can tweak it any way you like. You don't need a big fancy blender either (though they ARE lovely - my friend has one).
3 big fist fulls of spinach
3/4 c water or juice
BLEND BLEND BLEND (I blend the greens first so that the smoothie will be....smooth!
Add a Banana or two
BLEND BLEND BLEND
That's it! You're smoothie should be great as is. You can add a bazillion other things if you wish. I like to drink mine cold so I use some frozen fruit and some fresh and I like to drink it through a straw. I personally add coconut oil to mine every day (click here for info about amazing coconut oil). Other things I love to add are: pineapple, strawberries, mango, papaya, Avocado (makes it creamy), blueberries, chia seeds - ANYTHING.
If you're not sure about this just yet, break the recipe down small and just try - a fist full of spinach 1/4-1/2c water and a banana. If it isn't to your liking - tweak it. You can add honey or agave nectar if you need it sweeter but I bet you won't.
Enjoy!
Yay! I'm so glad you finally posted the recipe...I keep meaning to ask, but you know how that goes! Yum, I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Do you use fresh or frozen spinach?
ReplyDeleteI use Fresh Spinach and aside from my bananas I usually use frozen fruit - so easy to get a giant bag of mixed frozen fruit from costco!
