[muppet]

i just wanted to share my newest discovery. basil is so yum in the green smoothiest - it makes it very refreshing. i have been doing the following:
one frozen banana
frozen strawberries and or/ blueberries or whatever fresh fruit
flax seed
walnuts
coconut butter
basil
celery or arugula
water
and mix

Oh yes! I love basil in my green smoothies. It's very, very good!!! I also add a lemon every day, just to get some more alkalinity in my old bod!!! :) :D :cool:

I love it, too :D And the gardens I work at have a never-ending supply this time in the season. Yum!

makes since. basil used to be used in a lot of sweet recipes. My dad wont eat basil any other way (he loves basil flavored deserts).

Ooh I definitely want to try this out! My herb garden has basil coming out of the kazoo and I can't use it fast enough.

I never would have thought to try that and now i will. I didn't like cilantro in GS though I normally love it.

btw, my husband and I call each other "muppet" which I started because he has such good skin that I told him it was like muppet fabric :-)
