Favourite Green Smoothie?

[Kate]

apples (a few different varieties)
frozen banana (s)
celery

YUM!

[spicyfull]

Ditto......

[GreenSky]

I have different favorites all the time. I guess it depends on the ingredients I have on hand. My favorite lately is pretty straight up Green Smoothie:

1 Banana
Strawberries (probably about 2 cups)
Pineapple (probably about 1.5 cups)
Spinach (however much you can tolerate! I go for 50/50)
Parsley (just a bit)
Cinammon (again, just a bit)
Water to desired consistency (I like thick so I usually use 1/2 cup)

Sometimes I'll substitute a pear for the pineapple. Really you could use any sweet fruit. Also, I'll sometimes use fresh Orange juice instead of Water. One of these days I'll try it with carrot juice instead of water.

This is the one I've been doing lately. I'm using dandelion to help cleanse my liver:

4 pieces of kale
3 dandelion leaves
1 orange
3 frozen bananas
dash of water

[sungoddess]

Right now the one i drink all the time is very light, as I am in Florida, and it just feels right!

1 whole cucumber
1 skinned Grapefruit
as MUCH baby spinach as you like (I use a LOT, it turns KELLY GREEN :D )
a squeeze of lemon
stevia (optional)

a vitamix, a pretty glass, a straw!

[aubrey]

Juices of: (combined and downed!)

2 handfuls of spinach
2 baby cucumbers
2 stalks of celery
2 handfuls of romaine
1 handful of wheatgrass

I add some sea salt and some cayenne pepper, and I must say...after drinking it, I feel completely rawsome!

[levamssg]

My morning smoothie mix.

1/4 pineapple
handful or two of red grapes
two kiwis
2-3 clementines
1-2 bananas
1 fuji apple (if I have it)
a couple generous handfuls of spinach
2-3 cups of distilled water

I drink some in the morining - take the rest with me. Yummy

[Kate]

Wow!
What a lot of stuff!
I think I'm gunna try GreenSky's recipie in the AM and Terry's a lil' later, once I track all of the ingrediants.
Thanks for all of the wonderful suggestions.
I've never blended with pineapple before.

Hi Everyone,

This is a great thread! SO many new flavor combos to try! I can't wait!:p

I have one basic Green Smoothie I love and one Savory Green Smoothie I Love

Basic Morning Smoothie

Banana/ Blueberries/Romaine/ A little water


Afternoon/Evening Savory Smoothie

2-3 Cups Spinach
2 Cups Tomatoes
1 Cup Pineapple
1 Cup Celery
1 Cuke
A bit of Parsley
Tiny dash of lime or lemon juice
a couple of dates (optional)

(sometimes I'll add a bit of red pepper, or change the main green)

[KatK]

I just had one:

Lots of kale
2 bananas
1 small apple
couple cups of strawberries
cinnamon
vanilla

While I was blending it, I tasted a little and made the unfortunate comment, "Yum, this tastes like ice cream." My family was all over it...I barely got any! (Not that I really mind.) :D

[Alba]

I don'r do well with high sugar-fruits, so I have created some green smoozies that I can enjoy without breaking out:

Strawberry-slushy:

2 cups of frozen strawberries
1 small avocado
as much spinach as I desire
1/2 cucumber
1/2 small tart apple

---blend till creamy and delish

raspberry-delight

1 small avo
2 cups of raspberries
kale
1/2 pink grapefruit
coconut-flour

Yum...


Love alba
