It is great to hear about so many people joining us this month. Lots of you have asked about recipes and ideas. Here you go.
The Smoothie Toolkit:
A blender that chops ice
Chopped frozen bananas - Keep a Zip-Lock bag of them in the freezer.
Other frozen fruit
Clean fresh fruit
Non-dairy milks - almond, rice, soy, coconut, hemp
Dark greens - kale, collard, Swiss chard, spinach, wheat grass
A nice big glass!!!
Recipes:
Use any combination of the fruits above and plenty of shredded greens - stems and all.
Add about 1/2 cup 'milk' to 3/4 cup water.
Use ice cubes if you want real coldness or are not using any frozen fruit.
For example:
1 rough cup frozen bananas
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup kale
1/2 cup almond milk
3/4 cup water
Set on 'ice crusher' mode first, then blend until very smooth. Let it rest a minute so as not to ingest all bubbles. Enjoy!
Additions:
Try some unsweetened cocoa or carob powder to make a chocolate smoothie!
Add 2 dates (pitted) to sweeten.
Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for a vanilla shake feel
Add peanut or almond butter
Add shredded coconut
Please log on and share your ideas/fears/feelings etc.
Have a green day!!!
