We started making these smoothies for breakfast a while ago, and we both really like them. Matthew seems to enjoy them too, but he doesn't like to drink his all at once. He usually sips on it throughout the day.
- Green Smoothie -
Ingredients
Blend the Water with the Greens, then add the Lemon, Banana and Avocado and puree. Add the Frozen Fruit and blend until smooth. Add additional water if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
This makes about 2 quarts.
Blend all but the Strawberries for 60 seconds. Add the strawberries and blend again until smooth.
This makes about a quart.
- 2-3 Cups Water
- 1 Head Kale, Spinach, Collards, or other Greens
- 1/2 an Avocado
- 1 Banana
- 1/4 of a Lemon
- Lots of Frozen Fruit - Our favorites are Pineapple and Strawberries because the pineapple does a good job of covering any bitterness from the greens
