Really easy and delicious green smoothie ideas?

[tolondontoparis]

Kale is a bit to powerful for my lil taste buds right now, and I am getting bored of apples. I also only have a cheapo blender.

Any ideas?

Oh! And any easy yum yum salad dressings?

Kale is MUCH better if you blend with banana. The sweet/flavor seems to tame down the kale - and start with SOME kale, not a lot. In a less powerful blender, try doing the kale by itself with water first - then add the rest. (Frozen banana is great for making smoothies COLD.)

As for easy - anything you like can be made into a smoothie. There are a ton of recipies online but I just tend to 'dump'. BUT for me the key is banana, especially when starting out. YMMV.

My favorite is spinach, pineapple, mango and peach!

I like to add orange, half a frozen banana, a ton of spinach, a kirby cuke, and a stalk of celery

I shall try this!

orange juice as a base, then baby spinach, frozen banana slices and frozen peaches or mangos, strawberry is good with banana too

There's also a thread that's been stickied in maybe either the juicing or fasting forum section with lots of recipes.

I like to use spinach or romain or a couple other milder greens that I can't think of ATM then add banana for sweetness and maybe some berries for extra flavor.

When I was using a cheapo blender I learned that if I froze my greens overnight that they broke up real easy in the blender. But I also learned that if left in the freezer too long that the greens began to taste gross, so I preferred to leave em in the freezer only long enough that they froze and could crumble.


LOL. I just noticed that the smoothie recipes are at the top of this forum.
