I had a fresh pineapple to use up and a couple of "miscellaneous" leftover things, so I made the morning smoothie a little different than previous days. Here's the recipe:
- Spinach - 2C
- Zucchini - 1/2 small
- Carrots - 1/2 C shredded
- Bell pepper - 1/2 small
- Plum - 1 whole (not the pit)
- Pineapple - 1 ring
- Hemp seeds - 1T (for protein)
- Apple juice to Max line
Ta da!--more "monster vomit". But it still tasted good. You just can't dwell on how it looks, I guess. Just keep in mind how good YOU'RE gonna look after you drink all this veggie goodness!
Then, I decided to make a rooty-tooty-wicked-fruity smoothie for this afternoon. The only veggie in it was one leftover piece of red bell pepper that I didn't want to waste. Here's the recipe:
- Cabot Greek Yogurt, Vanilla Low Fat - 1 C
- Banana - 1
- Plum - 1
- Green grapes - handful
- Blueberries (frozen) - handful
- Chia seeds - ~1 teaspoon
- Apple juice to Max line
Finally, a recipe that didn't turn out dark green!:
This one was very good, just like all the others. The predominant flavors were yogurt and banana, which makes sense since those were the highest-quantity items in the drink.
My husband is sitting at the table eating a huge pile of homemade chili nachos with sour cream. And you know what? I'm so flippin' full, I'm not even interested in joining him. Hallelujah!
