- 1 Handful of Kale-1 Handful of Spinach
-1 Handful of Parsley
-1/2 a Medium Cucumber
-1 Handful Green Grapes
-1 Kiwi
-1 Peach (skin and all)
-1 Mango
-1 small Banana
-1 Scoop of Soy Ice Cream (optional)
-4-6 large ice cubes
-Water (This is just to blend easier. You could also use soy or rice milk or V-Fusion Vegetable Fruit Juice; I like the Mango Peach one)
-A parsley or mint leaf, lemon or lime slice for garnish (optional - this is so it looks pretty)
Toss into blender and blend well. If it doesn't all fit into your blender at first, just start blending some of it to make space and then toss the rest of the stuff in. My son thinks it's yogurt. I don't care what he calls it so long as he drinks it. He loves it. It tastes just like a Jamba Juice smoothie. Makes for a yummy breakfast. Yields about 4 very filling drinks.
I loved the smoothie you made for me! My husband and I have had smoothies for breakfast almost every morning since we've been married, but I've pretty much just used fruit and soy milk. But you've inspired me to start putting in a little bit of something green like spinach or kale. It still tastes great, and a handful of spinach every morning for a couple of weeks, months, years will quickly add up to a lot of extra nutrition.
