I had my first green smoothie!

[bananaberrie]

I did. I did! And it was good! I was reluctant to try one because I didn't what to hate it and then have to drink it anyway or feel guilty for throwing it out, but no worries. It was good. I heard people say you can't taste the greens and they are right. 1 banana, 1 mango, 3 handfuls of spinach and a while in the blender and it is a really pretty green color.

I see lots of green smoothies in my future:woot:

Awesome! :) I love green smoothies. My fav right now is blending:
apples
kale or spinach - which ever one I have
lots of water
cinnamon

mmmm its like a green apple pie smoothie

Mango makes any green smoothie yummy! Good choice!

RawSar. Do you juice the apples and add everything to the blender? Or juice the lot?

Sounds like something I'd like.

No I don't juice the apples. :)

No I don't juice the apples. :)

Darn. I will have to wait to I upgrade to a Vitamix. There is no way my pathetic blender could cope with apples. :(

Hey, if you cube the apples before you blend, that should help quite a lot. Obviously I haven't used your blender, but I had one that was less than stellar when I lived in Budapest in 2008, and I had to go from VitaMix to that. I found that it was TOTALLY fine, as long as I chopped more than usual. (With that blender.)

Another thing that helps, for stuff like cheez, is to first food process for a bit, then transfer to the blender. More dishes, but, as they say in Brazil, if you don't have a dog, you learn to hunt with a cat!:dance:
