Thank you for doing that :) ..... I guess what I wanted to know is what everybodys favorite smoothie is.

My first smoothie made with Kale bannanas and apples..... was not good.

oh and by the way... those are people's favourite smoothies on that list. that's how it was compiled! everyone submitted their favourites. i know, cause my hubby did the green smoothie challenge and got that list at the end!

Start out with a lighter tasting green, like spinach. Kale is strong in a smoothie. And yes - search my dear - you'll find a ton!!!

[Aleesha Sattva]

i agree. switch it up to spinach, bananas and blueberries... you'll love it!

I have been working on developing a savory green smoothie that suites my taste preferences. I came up with a receipe that I call my gaspacho smoothie. Tomatos, sundried tomatoes cucumber, bell pepper, a little onion and garlic and some spinach, yesterday I threw in some pesto I had made up for extra flavor.

Although I like both foods individually, I really dislike the combo of banana with greens, though I know that's a standard pairing for lots of people. My favorite green to use is baby spinach (must be young and tender).

I'm still trying combinations, but so far, the fruits I think go best with spinach are mango, peach, strawberry, orange, and apricot. A bit of homemade almond milk makes it extra creamy. I also add hemp seed, flax seed or oil, and powdered green food.

The one I just finished: spinach, mango, orange, almond milk, flax seed, hemp seed, powdered green food, drop of vanilla, dash of stevia, pinch of gray salt.

My favorite smoothies are the ones that come out well. :p I've had some disasters that went right down the drain or else I had to plug my nose.

Play with your food and add what feels right.

Lately I've been adding tons of cilantro to my salads and smoothies...what I add to anything I'm making changes over time and is dependent on what my body is hungry or thirsty for in the moment.
